The National Council on Teacher Quality today released its
ninth annual State Teacher Policy Yearbook, which includes a 360-degree analysis of every state law,
rule and regulation that shapes the effectiveness of the teaching profession in Maryland.
Maryland received an overall grade
of D+, holding steady since 2013,
despite the fact that NCTQ raised
expectations in several key policy
areas, including aligning teacher
licensing with the requirements of
states’ college- and career-readiness
standards.
