This edition highlights two topic areas. A new chart summarizes and updates information on state testing requirements for certification and for entry to or exit from teacher education progams. State activity in the area of early childhood education provides the second highlight. Documenting a variety of reforms, this survey also tracks eight topics followed in previous editions: (1) admission standards; (2) program curricula; (3) standards boards; (4) irregular certification routes; (5) incentives; (6) beginning teacher induction; (7) resources for practitioner inservice; and (8) minority teacher recruitment. Information is summarized in the appendices on: (1) capacity for building for Schools, Colleges, and Departments of Education (SCDEs); (2) faculty development for SCDEs; and (3) research/data/evaluation.
