The NEGP MONTHLY for January 2001

[Negpmon <NEGPMON@WESTAT.com>]

The academic preparation of secondary school teachers for their main
teaching assignment and their appropriate certification are basic elements
of assuring quality teaching.   These are indicators used by the National
Education Goals Panel to determine progress on Goal 4-teacher education and
professional development.  State and organizational policies around the
country are moving toward an emphasis on secondary school teachers acquiring
academic degrees and on more rigorous certification processes.   Among the
highest performers on both indicators are North Dakota, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, and Minnesota.
