The United States Congress enacted Title II of the Higher Education Act (HEA) in October 1998, with the intent of improving the recruitment, preparation and support of new teachers as well as to developing new accountability measures in the form of new teacher preparation and licensing reporting requirements for institutions and states.
Title II seeks to ensure that new teachers have the content knowledge and teaching skills they need to teach all students to high standards. In addition, it also seeks to compile comprehensive national data on how well institutions prepare teachers, what states require of individuals before they are allowed to teach and how institutions and states are raising their standards for the profession of teaching.
