Teacher Preparation at New Graduate Schools of Education

There’s a growing consensus worldwide that teacher quality is among the most important factors in student achievement and the quality of education systems. However, there is controversy about how teachers should be prepared. Since 2005, eleven new graduate schools of education (nGSEs) have emerged. nGSEs are state-authorized to grant master’s degrees and endorse teachers for initial certification but are not connected to universities. This study takes an in-depth look at how candidates learn to teach at nGSEs and how these new organizations have challenged the field of teacher preparation.
