Department of Education Invites Comments on Teacher Quality and Preparation Reporting Forms

NAICU Washington Update


April 15, 2009


The U.S Department of Education has released the draft institutional and state report card forms required under the accountability provisions in Title II of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). Public comment on the forms is due by June 8.

Title II of HEOA requires institutions of higher education that prepare teachers to provide annual reports on how these teacher candidates perform on

  • certification/licensure exams
  • goals that the institution has set for preparing teachers in key shortage areas
  • assurances for how institutions are preparing all candidates to be successful in the classroom
  • descriptions of how preparation programs are structured


The April 7 Federal Register announcement includes the following guidance:

"The Department of Education is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: 1) Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology."
