Why does the Partnership Program target the preparation of teachers who will work in high-need communities?
Newly hired teachers in poor urban and rural areas are often among the least prepared and most inadequately supported, and yet, students in these areas often need the most highly qualified teachers, teachers who know their subject areas as well as how to teach those subjects. Improving the recruitment, preparation, and retention of high-quality teachers in high-need communities is an essential step in expanding access to quality education. In addition, identifying the best techniques for preparing teachers for our nation’s most challenging teaching assignments will provide a foundation for excellence in the preparation of all our teachers.
