TNTP Profiles US PREP as a Promising Model for Improving Teacher Preparation Pipelines & Programming

Blue report cover titled “A Strong Foundation” with subtitle about state policy priorities for effective, diverse teachers.

The New Teacher Project's (TNTP) newly published report titled, "A Strong Foundation: Three State Policy Priorities to Give Every Student Effective, Diverse Teachers" highlights US PREP's model for creating authentic partnerships between teacher preparation programs and school districts as a pioneering approach to strengthening teacher pipelines to meet the needs of districts and students in hard-to-staff subjects, schools, and regions. 

The report recommends US PREP’s approach to creating authentic and deep

district partnerships as a key way to empower local leaders to solve the challenges being faced by Educator Preparation Programs and districts alike.  US PREP’s approach to capacity-building ensures that stakeholders develop localized solutions for ensuring every child has access to an effective educator, no matter their race or socioeconomic status.
