Teachers for a New Era

Abstract
Recent research based upon thousands of pupil records in many different cities and states establishes beyond doubt that the quality of the teacher is the most important cause of pupil achievement. More than ever, the nation needs assurance that colleges and universities are educating prospective teachers of the highest quality possible.

Success will require radical change in allocation of resources, academic organization, criteria for evaluating, internal accountability measures, and relationships with practicing schools.

At the end, each of the selected institutions should be regarded by the best programs possible for the standard primary route to employment as a beginning professional teacher.
