(June 18, 2013, Washington, D.C.) – The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) released a review of the nation’s education schools today, making the anticipated splash and garnering heavy media attention with its shock factor.

The report raises many questions and fails to provide useful information to drive meaningful improvement. The following points summarize the chief concerns of AACTE and its member institutions:
