Printer-friendly version

The California State University, which prepares more than 12,000 new teachers yearly, is evaluating the impact of teacher education programs on K-12 student learning. The evaluation focuses on K-12 achievement gaps that victimize students of color and children of poverty. In this session, the University will share its findings about teacher education programs that are most effective in promoting K-12 learning and in reducing and closing K-12 gaps. Results will be presented graphically and discussed interactively with audience members.
