It is grand news to learn that the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) has dropped its advocacy of social-justice dispositional assessment, i.e., politically correct litmus tests for evaluating prospective teachers. As Professor Mitchell Langbert of Brooklyn College recently testified before the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (which was reviewing petitions to extend recognition of various accreditation associations), โdispositions are too easily used as pretexts for politically motivated retaliation to be used in assessing studentsโฆ.โ โNCATE has overseen the decline of American education,โ added Langbert, who also rightly recommended that its accreditation status be revoked altogether.
