    AASCU’s 2016 Task Force on Teacher Education assessed the state of teacher education at member institutions, identified pockets of innovation and success in the field, and highlighted the vital role of presidents and provosts in strengthening and supporting the effectiveness of their programs for an increasingly diverse P-12 student body.

    A report, drawing on task force members' insights and results from a survey of AASCU presidents, provosts and education deans, was released in February 2017 and is available online .
