If you are so inclined, you may also want to read the recent Washington
Post (10.24.16) article, entitled «The big problem with the Obama administration's new teacher - education regulations», in which the chair of Connecticut College's Education Department co-wrote that the «academy provisions» which were incorporated into ESSA (after initially being developed by the two charter lobbyist organizations New Schools Venture Fund and Relay
Graduate School of Education) would exempt «entrepreneurial «start - up programs» (i.e. teacher preparation «academies»)... from many of the requirements that states will enforce for other programs — such as hiring
faculty who hold advanced degrees or conduct research, holding students to certain credit hours or course sequences, or securing accreditation from the field's accrediting bodies.»
