Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 calls for annual reports from states and institutions of higher education (IHEs) on the quality of teacher preparation and state teacher certification and licensure (P.L. 110-315, sections 205-208). The purpose of the reports is to provide greater accountability in the preparation of the nation’s teaching forces and to provide information and incentives for its improvement. IHEs that have teacher preparation programs must report annually to their states on the performance of their program completers on teacher certification or licensure tests. States, in turn, must report test performance information, institution by institution, to the Secretary of Education. They must also report on their requirements for teacher certification and licensure, state standards, alternative routes to certification, low performing teacher preparation programs and related items.

Short Statement: Total annual cost burden to reflect that the new HEOA legislation greatly increased the amount of data required from IHEs and states. Not only are IHEs and states required to collect and report more data annually, states must compile the vast majority of the data reported by the IHEs and include them in the state report. Previously, under Title II of the Higher Education Act, most of the data reported by IHEs to the states were not included in the state reports.
