Educational school leaders are experiencing challenges that include high teacher attrition rates and staffing difficulties. The goal of this study was to determine if program exemplars from traditional teacher preparation were transferable to, and aligned with, alternative teacher preparation in an effort to provide viable options for those desiring to enter the teaching profession. A survey ascertained perceptions about the effectiveness of alternative teacher preparation from the lens of those implementing the programs. Of the program exemplars identified in the literature, 32 of 37 (86.5%) were concluded to be highly transferable and aligned, demonstrating that traditional and alternative teacher preparation programs provide choice to those seeking to attain teaching credentials, as well as provide school leaders options for hire. Findings of this study are intended to support alternative teacher preparation programs in an effort to increase the number of effective teachers.
