About This Event

The training and licensing of teachers has always been a contentious political and policy issue. Recent years have seen increasingly heated debate about the value of teacher licensure and certification and whether certification ensures a highly qualified teacher corps. Please join AEI for an October 23-24 conference that will examine these questions and their implications in depth. The conference will feature new empirical research on the nature of teacher training, an analysis of the political and policy landscape, and new models for tackling the need for outstanding teachers. This event will be hosted by AEI in partnership with the Progressive Policy Institute and the National Council on Teacher Quality.
