The quality of a district's teachers is one of its most valuable assets. The preparation of the teachers we hire is
critical to the goals that we as school superintendents share for improving educational outcomes for our students.
All of us believe that having more information about the specific preparation provided by education schools from which
we hire will enhance the ability of the school districts in Texas to make informed hiring decisions. The more we know,
the more strategic we can be in the selection and placement of new teachers.
We endorse the goals of the National Council on Teacher Quality's project to review education schools
and express our commitment to fully consider these ratings in our future recruitment strategies.
