Rapid Response: Alignment of University Curricula for Preservice Teachers With Scientifically Based Reading Research

This resource was produced in response to a request: "What are state departments of education (SDE) doing to ensure that their universities are aligning their curricula with scientifically based reading research (SBRR) resources and practices with regard to teaching preservice teachers reading courses? This includes content, instruction, and books." In response to this request, the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) queried several organizations that focus on teacher qualifications by e-mail and telephone. The SECC also searched various Web sites for information on teacher preparation programs, standards, and licensure requirements. The results are provided along with references and resources that may provide additional information on these topics.
