Higher Education Act (HEA) Reporting
Requirements
In October 1998, Congress enacted Title II of the
Higher Education Act (HEA), requiring new reporting
requirements for institutions and states on teacher
preparation and licensing. Section 207 of Title II
requires the annual preparation and submission of a
report by each university that prepares teachers on
how well individuals who complete its teacher
preparation program perform on initial state licensing
and certification assessments in their areas of
specialization. Universities are also required to publish
information on basic aspects of their programs, such
as number of students, amount of required supervised
practice teaching, and the student-faculty ratio in
supervised practice teaching. On the next page is
information on students who completed CSU-Pueblo’s
teacher education program during 2005-2006.
