CCNE
Evaluator Training
The
CCNE continues to offer evaluator training programs, as
needed, for prospective on-site evaluators to review collegiate
nursing education programs as part of the accreditation
process. More than 1,000 individuals have been nominated
to participate in this selective process. Seven evaluator
training programs have been hosted since 1998. Future
training programs will be held as needed.
The
primary goals of the CCNE evaluator training programs
are:
- to
introduce prospective on-site evaluators to CCNE policies,
procedures and standards;
- to
familiarize training participants with the practices
unique to specialized accreditation;
- to
promote collegial relationships among individuals
who take interest in enhancing the quality of collegiate
nursing education;
- to
promote dialogue about the interpretation of CCNE
accreditation standards;
- to
ensure consistency in the application of accreditation
standards and, thus, reliability in the review process;
and
- to
communicate to prospective on-site evaluators how
to participate appropriately and effectively as representatives
of CCNE.
