Page 7: Getting Ready for Teacher Preparation Regulations

WeedsNew Part Title II Reporting 612.4 State Report Card RequirementsUsing a state report card prescribed by the Secretary, states must report on the quality of all approved teacher preparation programs. States must make meaningful differentiation in teacher preparation performance using at least four performance levels: low-performing, at-risk, effective and exceptional, based on the indicators in 612.5 including a significant part, student learning outcomes. Effective or exceptional can only be with satisfactory or higher student learning outcomes. 612.5 Indicators: provide disaggregated data on academic content knowledge and

teaching skills must include at a minimum:- student learning outcomes- employment outcomes- survey outcomes- assurance of specialized accreditation or state approval that the program provides

quality clinical preparation; content and pedagogical knowledge; rigorous entry and exit qualifications; and student survey results. New Title IV TEACH Grant language 686.2TEACH Grants are available to high quality teacher preparation programs, which is an effective or exceptional program based on the state’s analysis of the criteria in 612.5.

Why this makes us nervousPrecedent setting for federal funding and regulation

Shift away from need-based to quality-based federal student aid Administration’s Campus-Based Aid Proposal

Creep into other program areas

Accreditation as tool of government oversight rather than self-regulation

Frames next HEA reauthorization

Page 10: Getting Ready for Teacher Preparation Regulations

What we’re forAccountability based on valid and reliable research

Evaluations made using multiple measures

No high stakes consequences before measures proven valid

Data for improvement purposes

All programs should be held to the same standards

State responsibility, not federal mandate
