A settlement was reached in the legal dispute between the University of Wisconsin and the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) related to NCTQ's first- ever review of over 1,100 teacher preparation programs in the United States. The report, which will be distributed by U.S. News & World Report in spring 2013, will highlight the country's programs which are most effective at producing classroom-ready teachers and will serve as a consumer guide to prospective teachers and district leaders and a resource to programs seeking to improve.
