Recommendations Related to Standard 4

Based on the information presented in this section, these recommendations merit further attention as they relate to NCATE Standard 4.
  1. Review all Initial and Advanced programs and revise as necessary so that all candidates have field experiences with students who are diverse in race, ethnicity, language, exceptionality, and socioeconomic status.

  2. Continue recruitment and retention efforts for minority teaching candidates. Areas for increased attention might include those shown to draw a higher percentage of minority candidates, e.g., community college populations, post-baccalaureate populations, and programs with convenient, accessible delivery formats.

  3. Identify goals, strategies and timelines for recruiting diverse faculty in each category: tenure track, adjunct, affiliate, and visiting faculty.

  4. Undertake a unit-wide assessment and unit-wide discussion on the diversity climate within the College curriculum, the faculty, and the candidate population.
