- question 1. To what extent does subject knowledge contribute to the effectiveness of a teacher? -- question 2. To what extent does pedagogical coursework contribute to a teacher's effectiveness? -- question 3. To what extent does high-quality field-based experience prior to certification contribute to a teacher's effectiveness? -- question 4. Are there "alternative route" programs that graduate high percentages of effective new teachers with average or higher-than-average rates of teacher retention? -- question 5. Are there any teacher preparation strategies that are likely to increase the effectiveness of new teachers in hard-to-staff or low-performing schools? -- question 6. Is setting more-stringent teacher preparation program entrance requirements, or conducting more-selective screening of program candidates, likely to ensure that prospective teachers will be more effective? -- question 7. Does the accreditation of teacher preparation programs contribute significantly to the likelihood their graduates will be effective and will remain in the classroom? -- question 8. Do institutional warranties for new teachers contribute to the likelihood that recent graduates of those institutions will be effective?
