Formerly recognized as the Office of Professional and Field-based Experiences the Center for Teacher Quality oversees the Teacher Education Programs (TEP) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Center for Teacher Quality coordinates all aspects of teacher education. Our work is informed by the belief that public education is critical to creating and sustaining a political and social democracy. We believe that schools, universities, and communities must engage in simultaneous and collaborative renewal in order to make our vision for education a reality.
