USTEP Introduction

(The introduction is extracted from University-School Teacher Education Partnerships: Guidelines )

The UNC Board of Governors is committed to reforming teacher preparation in the state's public universities. This document outlines a plan to establish a Network of University-School Teacher Education Partnerships across North Carolina. Implementing this collaboratively developed plan will connect University faculty and public school educators in ways that will enhance the initial preparation, induction, and continuing professional development of teachers, administrators, and other school personnel.

The plan for creating the University-School Teacher Education Partnership Network in North Carolina is closely aligned with recommendations of the National Commission on Teaching & America's Future, the North Carolina School Improvement Panel, and many other national and state studies. It also incorporates recommendations by the UNC Deans' Council on Teacher Education in their response to the National Commission's report.

North Carolinians can and should take the lead in creating new 21st-century models for the preparation of teachers, administrators, and other educators. With the support of the Governor and the General Assembly, we can produce the high-quality school professionals we want and need in North Carolina and, in so doing, we will serve as a model for the nation.
