Today, the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) released new ratings
for 875 undergraduate elementary teacher preparation programs. The latest Teacher Prep
Review found evidence that the nation’s top programs–those that graduate teachers well versed
in both evidence-based content and methods of teaching–are not all the nation’s best known
elite universities, but include Carroll University, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, University
of Wisconsin – Madison, and University of Wisconsin – Platteville.
