Summary:
Abstract for Pre-Conference Institute Proposal
Educators, administrators, and others who are interested in assessment and evaluation of their program(s) and/or are interested in pursuing NADE Certification will have an opportunity to complete the NADE Certification Training at this pre-conference institute.
NADE Certification was launched in 1999 to recognize programs that meet or exceed criteria of good practices as defined by research and literature of the field. NADE Certification is given for components of a learning assistance or developmental education program. NADE does not certify entire programs.
The programs eligible for certification are: Tutoring Services, Adjunct Instruction (course-based study groups such as the Supplemental Instruction model), and developmental coursework. In order to be certified, a program component must demonstrate it utilizes practices found in quality services and programs by completing an Application Packet for the program component for which it is applying. This includes the following:
-
A summary of the results of a systematic self-study using the NADE Self-Evaluation Guides, Council on Advancement of Standards Handbook, or What Works: (Boylan)
- Submitting evaluation data that confirms the program component is meeting its goals and objectives.
- Providing the theoretical framework upon which the program is based.
- Other requirements as specified in the individual Program Component Application Packets.
Jennifer Ferguson of Cazenovia College and Training Coordinator of the NADE Certification Council as well as other members of the NADE Certification Council will conduct the pre-conference program. This workshop will satisfy the training requirement that is part of the application process for NADE Certification. Individuals who intend to pursue certification as well as those who want to learn how they can prepare their program to become eligible for certification are encouraged to take advantage of this training opportunity.
