NCTQ Report: UH Education Departments Among Nation's Worst
By Andrew Walden @ 9:52 PM :: 6109 Views :: Education K-12, Hawaii Statistics, Higher Education

by Andrew Walden

Released this month, the National Council on Teacher Quality 2013 Teacher Prep Review has bad news for Hawaii Universities' Schools of Education.

Earning an 'Exclamation Point' on the NCTQ's Hawaii Institution List, the following were among the nation's weakest programs:

  • UH Manoa Undergrad and Graduate Secondary Education Program
  • UH Hilo Undergrad Elementary Education Program

Only 14% of the nation's Education Schools are as bad as these UH Manoa and UH Hilo programs.

Other programs did better:

One star:

  • UH Manoa Graduate Elementary Program
  • Chaminade University Graduate Secondary Program

Two Stars:

  • Chaminade Undergraduate Elementary Program

NCTQ Honor Roll:

  • None

Programs at BYUH and UHWO as well as the UH Manoa Undergraduate Elementary Program were not completely evaluated due to insufficient information.  More detailed information on each institution and each program can be found on the NCTQ Hawaii Institution List.
