First, the Adininistration has proposed a $185 million Presidential Teaching Fellows program to support rigorous state-level policies and provide scholarships for future teachers, to attend top programs. ‘The students would be prepared to teach high-need subjects, and, upon graduation, teach for at least three years in high-need schools. Second, the Administration has proposed $40 million for the Hawkins Ceaters for Excellence program to prepare the next generation of minority teachers. Minority-serving institutions, or MSIs, would be eligible to receive competitive grants to reform and expand teacher preparation programs. Funding could be used to tions to help place minority candidates into partner with local school districts or non-profit organi 8high-need schools. Finally, based on existing authority in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, the Administration is proposing to reduce the reporting burden on schools of education and states, which are currently required to report 440 different measures annually. The Department recommends far fewer input measures and, instead, wants to focus on outcome measures like student academic achievement, teacher retention rates, and teacher/employer satisfaction rates. The aim is to allow states to identify the best teacher preparation programs and encourage others to improve by linking student test scotes back to teachers and schools of education. Through negotiated rulemaking, the Department hopes to receive valuable feedback on what this reform. should look like and how it would work best. The Administration’s plan has broad support across the education community, including the National Education Association, Teach for America, and education school leaders.

(Note: The Secretary's remarks regarding the plan are available at http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/new-approach-teacher-education-teform- and-improvement) ESEA FLEXIBILITY More than half the nation’s states have now notified the Department of their intent to request relief from key provisions of the No Child Left Bebind Act (NCLB) in exchange for serious state-led efforts to close achievement gaps, promote rigorous accountability, and ensure that all students are on track to graduate college- and career-teady. As of October 12, 17 states (Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin) had indicated an intent to request Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESE) flexibility by November 14, 2011, for a December peer review, and 18 states (Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Towa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and Washington), the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico had indicated an intent to request flexibility by mid-February 2012, for a spring 2012 peer review. ‘Two more states (Connecticut and Oregon) have also indicated intent without a specific timeline.
