We wanted to thank the many teacher prep programs who graciously provided resources for the Teacher Prep Review website. These programs not only demonstrate a commitment to providing a strong foundation for their own teacher candidates, but also to sharing key aspects of their training with programs across the country. NCTQ began posting resources of this type in October 2009 (first, materials on elementary math content instruction, followed by "key ingredients for strong student teaching"), which together have now been accessed over 250,000 times. The array of resources represented below is already expansive, but we hope to continue to build until we have resources available on every standard.
As is noted below, the types of material provided range from syllabi to lesson planning templates to student teacher observation instruments. Check out what's available in our Resources Guide below and be sure to search these institutions to learn more about their standout performance on key standards:
