Network for Transforming Educator Preparation

In 2012, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) convened a Task Force on Transforming Educator Preparation and Entry into the Profession that issued a call to action to chief state school officers and identified action steps that states could take to improve the workforce upon entry into the education profession. The task force was composed of current and former chiefs as well as representatives from the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) and the National Governors Association (NGA), and was chaired by Tom Luna, Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The Network for Transforming Educator Preparation (NTEP) utilized the aligned action network model, to mobilize stakeholders in different parts of a system to act in concert, help build a shared understanding of the system and the problem, develop consensus around a common vision, align strategies around that vision, and support one another in the execution. More specifically NTEP, focused on these four outcomes as a results of the network's actions: transform licensure policies and systems, transform program approval policies systems, and standards, transform data systems to support continuous improvement of educator preparation, and engage stakeholders to develop and implement this new system of educator preparation.

Five years after the nation's state education chiefs committed to raising expectations and strengthening policies for teacher preparation, every state has taken action to ensure teachers are better prepared for our students. NTEP states are now sharing lessons learned and successes to help other states prepare their educators to deliver for all students.
