Higher Education Act (1998)

The Act mandates that teacher preparation programs publish annually pertinent program information including but not limited to the following: (a) program accreditation; (b) pass rates of graduates on state teacher certification assessments; and (c) programs that have been designated as low performing by the State. In accordance with this act, information about the state- and NCATE-accredited teacher preparation programs at UF are available online at the college’s Web site (www.coe.ufl.edu).
