The
draft accountability rules, to be released this summer, will encourage states to identify high - and low - performing teacher preparation programs across all kinds of educational
models, not just those based in colleges and universities; urge a transition from current input - based reporting requirements to a focus on more meaningful
outcomes; and likely limit program eligibility for TEACH grants — which are available to students who are planning to become teachers in a high - need field in a low - income school — to only effective teacher preparation programs.
