discussed in the legislature. Among them, concerns have been raised about whether teacher education
standards are aligned with student standards. In keeping with our status as a leader in education,
Minnesota has set our standards for both K-12 students and teacher education to align primarily with
national standards for professional specialty organizations in education. As national standards for students
have been made more rigorous, Minnesota has revised standards for K-12 students. Assuming that the
common core standards for math and language arts are adopted, new revisions to the K-12 standards will
occur very soon. Revisions to student standards have been followed by revisions to teaching standards at
both the national and state levels - in a continuous iterative cycle. Furthermore, professional standards for
teaching recognize the need for teacher competence in content, general pedagogy, and content-specific
pedagogy. See full posiition statement.
