Most of the teachers wound up either taking two or three classes to meet college degree requirements.<\/p>\n<p>They want teachers to acquire a deep conceptual knowledge of the mathematics that they will one day need to teach, but at a huge bunch of the colleges they looked found this never occurred.<\/p>\n<p>The University Of Georgia stands out the best with nine other schools.  25 more schools would pass if they included more coursework.  37 schools just completely failed the NCTQ test.<\/p>\n<p>They really do insert a whole load of sample math questions in the report which is great.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say that findings are really bad.  If 37 of 77 colleges have such crappy curriculum can we really call the elementary teachers coming out of these colleges &#8220;highly qualified.&#8221; I say no, but the the NCLB would call them that.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>out looking at mathematics instruction curriculum for elementary teachers at colleges.
