1 U.S. News & World Report and the National Council on Teacher Quality National Education School Review Survey This is an outline of the questions and documents that will be requested during the review. Requests will be handled through websites specifically designed for each school where questions can be answered, and materials uploaded and explained.

2 PART I: Program Requirements and Syllabi For each preparation program included in the U.S. News/NCTQ project (in many cases, not all programs at a particular education school will be included), we will ask schools to verify our understanding of the professional coursework requirements and upload a syllabus for each course. A) For each program listed below, please confirm the required professional courses. Some of your programs may not be listed because we have only listed certification programs that are part of this review. We are interested in the requirements specific to the certification program only not general university education requirements. Space is provided beneath each course for corrections, and extra rows are included at the bottom of the chart in case we have omitted any required courses. B) For each listed course, please include a syllabus from an actual section taught in the or school year. We are looking for an actual course syllabus, not a departmental course outline or example course.
