States play an enormous role in setting the framework for teacher preparation programs.  So enormous, in fact, that policies about teacher preparation comprise the largest section of our State Teacher Policy Yearbook. Unfortunately, it's also the area where state policies earn the lowest grade, averaging just a D.  

But we've made this enormousness a little easier to handle with our new "At a Glance" summary, which includes key findings, a master table of states' teacher prep policies, and specific recommendations to help states move forward.  And we haven't forgotten about alternate routes -- states' alternate route policies "At a Glance" is available now too.
