Quoteoftheday

“States have had measures of teacher education programs' outcomes for years. But they haven't acted on them. They have administered licensure exams for decades, for example. But they have set passing rates way too low and have rarely taken any action against schools whose graduates have the lowest scores.”

Susan H. Fuhrman, president of Teachers College, Columbia University, and a past president of the National Academy of Education
