Title II of the Higher Education Act, as amended in 1998, holds institutions accountable for preparing teachers who have appropriate teaching skills and are highly competent in the academic content areas in which the teachers plan to teach. Section 207 of Title II of the Higher Education Act mandates that the U.S. Department of Education collect data on state assessments, other requirements, and standards for teacher certification and licensure, as well as data on the performance of teacher preparation programs.
The information below provides an overview of Gallaudet University's undergraduate teacher education program.
