Specifics of these strengths and weaknesses are discussed in detail in this paper.<\/p>\n<p>Policy recommendations drawn from the analysis of the 12 funded Race to the Top initiatives in this paper are intended to maximize the potential for change through RTT:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop high-quality state and data reporting systems<\/li>\n<li>Pilot stronger measures of preparation program accountability<\/li>\n<li>Foster innovative strategies to promote teacher and program quality<\/li>\n<li>Find ways to support good work by states not funded through RTT<\/li>\n<li>Monitor state performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By asking states for new initiatives to build or expand high-quality teacher preparation pathways, it is clear that Race to the Top can be a powerful lever to improve teacher quality in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>To access the report, see <a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?llr=orqzg7cab&amp;et=1104701727878&amp;s=4381&amp;e=001l1VBdv8LRqqWvgE31RB9V1H9XFHwcgfB1CNIUYZDt0ZhLm66sDGC680zmX1abt7x2Je-OXs-ttFzJj95U5yxTBSnZxZ3ZpBZQm7TWytRV_-UDw3Gii5Hyw==\" shape=\"rect\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.americanprogress.org\/issues\/2011\/03\/teacher_preparation.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Core Education is dedicated to teacher effectiveness and is experienced in working with teacher preparation program providers on program redesign and curriculum\/course development.
