Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced $99.8-million in Teacher Quality Partnership grants today, money that will go to universities and school districts working together to improve teacher training. The 12 grant recipients include seven teacher residency programs, which pair aspiring teachers with high-need schools; three universities changing their licensing programs; and two that are working on both residencies and licensing. The administration is seeking to change teacher-training programs as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, now known as No Child Left Behind, comes up for renewal.
