We wanted to thank the many teacher prep programs who graciously
provided resources for the Teacher Prep Review website. These programs not only demonstrate a commitment
to providing a strong foundation for their own
teacher candidates, but also to sharing key aspects of their training with
programs across the country. NCTQ began
posting resources of this type in October 2009 (first, materials on elementary
math content instruction, followed by “key ingredients for strong student
teaching”), which together have now been accessed over 250,000 times. The array of resources represented below is already expansive,
but we hope to continue to build until we have resources available on every standard.
As is noted below, the types of material provided range from
syllabi to lesson planning templates to student teacher observation
instruments. Check out what’s available in our Resources Guide
below and be sure to search
