Abstract

The purpose of this study was to learn what teacher educators think is important in forming our future teaching force. This study showed that most teacher educators feel they have quality programs. Teacher educators believed their programs prepare graduates well for their first year of teaching. They felt most programs are of quality in the state of Ohio. They were pleased with the current emphasis on pedagogy, subject area, and general education requirements. Teacher educators were concerned about the importance of quality in field and clinical experiences. The overall quality of teacher education programs in Ohio is better than in the past.
