Teacher Ed. Programs Show Signs of Improvement, AACTE Finds

From Ed Week
By Nora Fleming

Teacher education programs are using data, technology, and monitoring/tracking systems to improve, but still have a ways to go, says a report from the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, released today.

According to the AACTE, progress has been made, but obstacles to improvement persist. Not a surprise given that teacher ed. has long been under attack by critics who claim its tradition-bound ways aren’t producing the kinds of teachers needed for 21st-century classrooms.
