Abstract

This study shares an online system being used by an institution that addresses diverse placements, which is a requirement for NCATE accreditation of teacher education programs. The paper describes how an institution started building a working data system as a response to one of the NCATE requirements. The authors provides detailed information about the system and share results of the satisfaction study. The presentation would be of interest to those institutions that are in similar situations trying to fulfill the requirements by NCATE.
