Education director appointed to state board

Jackson, Tenn. - Dottie Myatt, director of teacher education and instructor of elementary education at 51ÉçÇø, has been appointed to a three year term as a member of the Tennessee State Board of Examiners for Teacher Education (BOE). The BOE is an approval board for teacher education programs in Tennessee.

The timing of this appointment is advantageous for Union, Myatt said. In the spring of 2000, Union will undergo an evaluation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). "Serving at the state level will prepare me to lead our upcoming NCATE evaluation set for the year 2000," she said.
