Description

Teacher preparation programs (TPPs) play a vital role in preparing teachers, including helping them teach to new K-12 college- and career-ready standards recently adopted or under development in all states. Under Title II of the Higher Education Act, states collect information on TPPs and report it to the Department of Education (Education), which reports it to the public. Education also administers competitive grant programs related to teacher preparation. In light of new K-12 standards and questions about TPP, this report reviewed TPP, state, and federal efforts. It examines: (1) state oversight activities; (2) state and TPP actions related to new K-12 standards; and (3) the extent to which Education shares information about TPP quality. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
