Teacher Preparation
[PDF]Teacher preparation is an important activity at the State University of New York. Sixteen campuses offer teacher preparation programs. The State University, in turn, is a major supplier of New York’s public school teachers. The State University’s teacher preparation programs face challenges from several forces impinging at once: the drive for higher learning standards for students, growing teacher shortages in selected regions and fields, and new regulations for teacher preparation programs and teacher certification, all in an environment of vigorous and sometimes harsh debate.
