Our Responsibility, Our Promise, Transforming Educator Preparation and Entry into the Profession was written by a CCSSO task force composed of current and former chief state school officers, with input from the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) and the National Governors Association (NGA).This report is a call to action for chiefs, and an invitation to stakeholders in the broader educator preparation community, to join us in supporting the implementation of the recommendations put forth in this report. While the report focuses on specific state policy levers chiefs can activate specifically licensure, program approval, and data collection, this work will require the collective leadership of all stakeholders in P-20 education.
