Teacher Education Advisory Group (TEAG)

Purpose

The Teacher Education Advisory Group serves as a channel of communication between the field of teacher education, as represented by professors, practitioners, and deans of teacher education, and representatives from the New York State Education Department (NYSED). It shares with the New York State Education Department perspectives on policy and regulation, on research and practice, and on trends and issues that face this field. It also shares with the field those perspectives offered by the Commissioner and State Education Department staff on the same matters. It provides a ready and able means by which matters of teacher education can come to be understood and addressed.

The New York State Association of Teacher Educators (NYSATE) to include a past president, president, and president-elect.

One representative is selected by the School of Education Deans of SUNY institutions.

One representative is selected to represent CUNY institutions.

One representative is selected to represent the Council of University Deans.
