States must report annually on criteria

teacher credentials using a State Report 

Card (SRC), and institutions of higher 

education (IHEs) with teacher 

preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs 

outside of IHEs, must report on key 

program elements on an Institution and 

Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and 

TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to 

their states on program elements, 

including program numbers, type, 

enrollment figures, demographics, 

completion rates, goals and assurances 

to the state. States, in turn, must report 

on TPP elements to the Secretary of 

Education in addition to information on 

assessment pass rates, state standards, 

initial credential types and 

requirements, numbers of credentials 

issued, TPP classification as at-risk or 

low-performing. The information from 

states, institutions, and programs is 

published annually in The Secretary’s 

Report to Congress on Teacher Quality.
