Fritz Wire(TM) Educational newsletter excerpt October 9, 2015.  The final version of a sharply criticized rule that would cut off federal financial aid for teacher preparation programs that don't prepare graduates well for the classroom is now expected in December, the Education Department tells Morning Education. The final regulation is long overdue: The proposed rule, released [ http://politico.pro/1L4IwuU ] last November, would punish low performing programs by cutting off access to federal TEACH grants that students can use to pay for school. It would also compel states to collect more data and evaluate their programs by several key metrics, including how many graduates get jobs and whether teachers are boosting student learning. The department has said the rule would cost states and providers $42 million over 10 years. A department official said last year that "we believe that the actual costs will be lower due to technology and other efficiencies." But a number of groups opposing the rule say the department's estimation is wildly inaccurate. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing said it could cost the state $485 million for just one year, for example. Wow! Helping teachers teach could be costly!!!
