MDE Reviews and Approves UM-Dearborn SOE Principal Preparation Program

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) conducts periodic reviews of teacher and administrator preparation programs to ensure adherence to current guidelines and standards. Programs are subjected to rigorous peer review based on an extensive set of submitted materials regarding courses and experiences required in the program. MDE recently completed its review of the Principal Preparation Program, which is available at the UM-Dearborn School of Education as a stand-alone program http://www.soe.umd.umich.edu/soe_principal_cert/ or linked to the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership degree http://www.soe.umd.umich.edu/soe_mael/. I am pleased to report that the program passed with flying colors!

Our success in this program review represents a significant endorsement of our educational leadership preparation programs. Special thanks go to Professor Bonnie Beyer for her leadership in the effort to get all the required materials prepared and submitted for the program review, and also to the faculty and staff who assisted her in these efforts. Bravo to all!
