Policy Profiles

In June 2004, Carnegie Corporation of New York commissioned CPRE to examine the policy environments in the ten states in which the grantees of the Corporation’s TNE project are located. Recognizing that the success, sustainability, and replication of these reforms will depend in part on the state policy environments in which each institution operates, the Corporation has asked CPRE to investigate two critical questions:

• What policy changes may be needed to ensure implementation, continuation, and spread of these reforms in teacher education?

• What actions might be taken to bring about these changes?

For each of the 10 states in which TNE institutions operate, CPRE has developed a policy profile that explores the interaction of state policies and programs with the core ideas and practices associated with the three TNE design principles. The following state profiles are available for free download:

California
Connecticut
Massachusetts
Michigan
New York (in press)
Texas (in press)
Virginia
Washington
Wisconsin
