Teacher Prep Review: Program Diversity and Admissions, 2021
Drake, Graham; Ellis, Christie; Moorer, Amber; Walsh, Kate
National Council on Teacher Quality
New to the "Teacher Prep Review" in 2021 is a standard measuring the contributions teacher preparation programs make to the diversity of their state's and local community's teacher workforce. Formerly titled Selection Criteria, the Admissions standard has been a part of the "Teacher Prep Review" since its inception in 2013. While there have been multiple, albeit largely unsuccessful efforts over the years to press upon the nation's teacher preparation programs the need to raise academic standards for admission, less systematic attention has gone to diversifying the profession. That may be because the research has essentially flipped in the last twenty years, with earlier findings noting few tangible benefits from matching teacher race with student race to a newer body of research that has turned up dramatic benefits. In a unique undertaking, this study examines the important intersection between programs' admissions standards with their goals to achieve greater diversity and highlights programs that have successfully achieved both.
