NCTQ Standards for Teacher Preparation

On January 18th, I posted on the upcoming NCTQ and US News & World Report study/ranking of teacher preparation schools. There were lots of questions about what standards would actually be used and if they would be aligned with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards that guide teacher preparation program accreditation.

Below is the link to the NCTQ standards:

I spoke to one dean of education who says that this will be like answering to another accreditating agency. How will it impact your teacher preparation program?
