The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) conducts periodic reviews of teacher preparation programs to ensure adherence to current guidelines and standards. Programs are subjected to rigorous peer review based on an expensive set of submitted and posted materials provided by a teacher preparation institution. During AY 2010-11 MDE reviewed and approved UM-Dearborn School of Education programs in six areas: history (major, minor & cert only), political science (major, minor & cert only), economics (major, minor & cert only), elementary social studies (major & cert only), early childhood (major & cert only), and early childhood graduate additional endorsement.
Our success in every program review conducted this year represents a significant endorsement of our teacher preparation programs in these areas. Special thanks go to Associate Professors Julie Taylor and Seong Hong for their leadership in the effort to get all the required materials prepared and submitted for the program reviews, and also to all the faculty and staff who assisted them in these efforts. Bravo to all!
