Two Roadmaps, One Destination: The Economic Progress Paradigm in Teacher Education Accountability in Georgia and Missouri
Authors: Nichols Jr. Joseph R., Cuenca Alexander
In this article, the authors argue that the national conversation around teacher education accountability in the United States derives from a specific policy paradigm about the utility of teacher preparation. Specifically, they discuss the procedures these states are using to connect P–12 teacher performance with teacher preparation programs. The authors present cases from Georgia and Missouri illustrating how these policy paradigms have resulted in outcomes-based accountability initiatives for teacher education.
