NCTQ and U.S. News and World Report Announce Joint Teacher Education Review

The publisher of the famous and much-debated college ratings, announced on January 18, 2011 a project to review and rate teacher education in all the nation's 1,400 schools of education. The schools will be reviewed against 19 standards but actually graded on 17 of the standards. Alternative teacher credential programs associated with institutions of higher education will be reviewed.  Credential programs such as Teach For America or district created programs that operate independently of educational schools will not be included in the evaluation.
