BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A recent report from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) evaluates more than half of the elementary teacher preparation programs in the U.S., to gauge their effectiveness in reading instruction. A review finds, however, that the report lacks the rigor necessary to adequately inform policy or practice.

Key Points: 
  • Key New NEPC Review Takeaway: This report is ambitious ideological advocacy, not a scientific analysis of teacher preparation suitable to inform policy or practice.
  • BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A recent report from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) evaluates more than half of the elementary teacher preparation programs in the U.S., to gauge their effectiveness in reading instruction.
  • Further, it outlines model programs and recommended actions for teacher preparation programs, state leaders, school districts, advocates, teachers, and parents.
  • As states increasingly prioritize teacher preparation for early reading instruction based on the "science of reading," Professor Thomas cautions that policymakers should avoid creating legislation that stems from NCTQ's narrow education reform agenda.
