4. ACCREDITATION UPDATE Athens State University4 NCATE (CAEP) College of Education  Successful NCATE (CAEP) visit in October, 2014. On-site committee’s final report reflects that all standards were met and recognized 4 areas of strengths  Candidates are well-prepared by the unit to possess knowledge, skills and dispositions as outlined in unit’s conceptual framework. P-12 school partners gave high praise on candidates’ performance and professionalism. As a result, schools actively seek the ASU candidates for field experiences and employment.  The unit is to be commended for the strong relationships developed with the 5 Professional Development Schools and the schools in the 66 school systems used for field experience placements. The strength of these relationships became clear during interviews and conversations with superintendents, principals, and clinical faculty. The team was also made aware that these administrators not only felt ownership of the unit’s teacher preparation programs but would always welcome ASU candidates into their schools.
