NEA, AACTE release papers on teacher quality issues
Posted: 5/13/2010 10:13:27 AM
NEA and AACTE (American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education) have jointly released four papers on teacher quality issues. NEA Vice President Lily Eskelsen represented NEA at the National Press Club event where the papers were released, and her comments are reflected in the NEA/AACTE joint press release.
The policy papers are:
- Learning to Practice: The Design of Clinical Experience in Teacher Education by Pam Grossman of Stanford University
- Recognizing and Developing Effective Teaching: What Policymakers Should Know and Do by Linda Darling-Hammond of Stanford University
- Strengthening State Teacher Licensure Standards to Advance Teaching Effectiveness by Barnett Berry, Center for Teaching Quality
- Using Longitudinal Data Systems to Inform State Teacher Quality Efforts by George Noell of Louisiana State University and Paige Kowalski of the Data Quality Campaign
The policy papers were produced as part of NEA's collaborative partnership with AACTE--the Partnership for Teacher Quality--created to forge progressive preparation and licensing policies at the state level and to encourage/strengthen partnerships between NEA's state affiliates and AACTE's state chapters.
All papers are available at the
AACTE website.
