| What does “two-way” or “three-way” partnership mean? |
 |
| Most NCATE/State partnerships are between NCATE and one state
agency, usually the state department of education, or an independent
standards board resulting in a two-way partnership (NCATE
and the state agency). In some cases, the partnership is between
NCATE, and two state agencies, such as the higher education
commission thus, a three-way partnership. |

| Why do I have to submit standard
alignment forms, if my state is not looking to award national
recognition of programs? |
 |
| In order for NCATE to defer the program review process to
the state, NCATE must have the assurance that each state’s
program standards are sufficiently aligned with NCATE program
standards. |

| My state agency conducts
the review, but has adopted NCATE program standards. Do
I have
to submit standard alignment forms? Do I have to fill out
the section about the state’s process in conducting
the program reviews? |
 |
|
Submit state policy that substantiates the claim that the
state has adopted NCATE program standards. It is still necessary,
however, to submit a description of the state’s process
for conducting program reviews. This will be evaluated by
the State Partnership Board. |
