Introduction

Characteristics of a High-Quality Teacher Preparation Program

There is substantial evidence that teachers who have a solid foundation both in pedagogy and subject matter at the undergraduate and/or graduate level are more effective teachers and have a positive influence on their students' achievement.

In order to train the kind of teachers who are grounded in subject matter as well as teaching knowledge, the place to begin is in high-quality preparation programs that are rigorous and thorough. In this era of higher standards and increasing numbers of students with diverse learning needs, teachers need to be able to organize and present subject matter so that all of their students can understand and learn. To help teachers incorporate new standards, methods, and concepts into their teaching, the changing education landscape encourages collaborative efforts among teachers, and teacher learning as a career-long process.
