Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over advantage, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity over uniformity, and justice over all.

Subject: Rankings of Colleges of Education - What You NEED to Know
Importance: High

When It Comes to Rankings, Be Sure to Read the Fine Print:
Not All Rankings Are Created Equal

The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education takes pride in its strong academic programs, which are held to stringent state and national accreditation standards. We believe in accountability: our alumni, students, and school partners expect nothing but the best from us, and the Ohio Board of Regents, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) set a high bar for excellence. Their standards are based on objective criteria developed through systematic testing and sound methodology.

Recently, other organizations have developed their own models for evaluating colleges of education and have joined the national debate on education reform. While we welcome new voices in the public discourse on this topic, some of these models lack consistency and rigor and are based on methods that are questionable and outdated.  Some organizations have elected to present the results of their assessment models in the form of "rankings" or "report cards." This FAQ page, http://www.cehs.ohio.edu/CollegeRankingsFAQs.htm, 
outlines why not all rankings or report cards are equally impartial and sound.

Please visit and read through the following page: http://www.cehs.ohio.edu/RankingsofCollegesofEducation.htm. 
Encourage your students and staff to review this information as well.

Thank You,
