Abstract
For decades in the United States, teacher preparation has been both a political and social focus. The development of highly effective teachers is highly scrutinized and there is a new, nationally-reviewed teacher performance assessment, edTPA, which teacher candidates must pass in order to become certified in 36 states and the District of Columbia.
