Teacher Prep

Since 2004, NCTQ has been examining the nation’s teacher preparation programs, not just making recommendations for improvement, but shining a spotlight on the best.

This work is challenging, as it follows on the heels of many failed attempts to improve this industry going back many decades. The benefits strengthen our resolve. Can you imagine a hundred thousand new teachers starting the school year really ready to teach? We do each day.

Giving teachers the knowledge and skills they need to teach reading effectively is fundamental for improving life outcomes for all children and reversing historical patterns of inequity.

NCTQ provides the most up-to-date information available on the extent to which nearly 700 teacher preparation programs across the country prepare aspiring teachers to teach children to read.
