  2. What is the National Portrait? 1. Describes colleges of education: the work they do, the people who do that work and the students they serve 2. Outlines contributions in teaching, research and service 3. Identifies some of the significant challenges facing colleges of education

  3. Definition What is a “College of Education” in this report? • Not all education programs are housed in a college or school of education. • There are no national data that distinguish institutions with a college of education. • This report uses the term college of education to refer to all four-year colleges and universities that award degrees or certificates in education at the bachelor’s degree level or higher. • Whenever two-year or less-than-two-year institutions are discussed, they are referenced explicitly.

  4. Key Findings • Colleges of education make significant contributions to American education through teaching, research, and service. • Those preparing to become educators are not as diverse as the students they will serve. • Enrollment declines challenge colleges of education to meet all the needs of America’s schools. • Faculty retirements will present challenges and opportunities as colleges of education evolve.

  5. Data Sources IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) • Reported by Institutions • Counts degrees and certificates conferred by field and specialty (among many other topics) • Does not count enrollment by program or major • Does not capture students who complete a teacher preparation program but do not earn a degree or certificate in education Title II Data Collection • Reported by teacher preparation programs • Counts program enrollment and completers • Includes non-institutional providers • Includes only programs preparing students for initial licensure
