Results of the SREB National Survey on Teacher Development for College and Career Readiness

Publication 2010 12 pages

This report presents findings from SREB’s National Survey on Teacher Development for College- and Career-Readiness Standards, which collected information on college- and career-readiness efforts and subsequent teacher development across the nation. SREB staff developed and electronically distributed the survey to three education-sector professionals in each of the 50 states. The survey examined:

  1. the status of college- and career-readiness standards in the states
  2. the anticipated impact of the national Common Core State Standards on pre-service and in-service teacher education
  3. the nature of current and anticipated teacher development activities related to college- and career-readiness standards
  4. current state policies concerning teacher development activities related to college- and career-readiness standards, and
  5. potential challenges to providing teacher development on college- and career-readiness standards.

The report analyzes survey results and concludes there is a need to define college and career readiness across the nation. Also, few states have professional development or teacher preparation modules or guidelines designed specifically around college- and career-readiness standards.
