The Academy for Educational Development (AED) sent a research team to Montclair State University (MSU) on September 25-26, 2008 to conduct interviews with individuals who play important roles in the university's teacher preparation program. These interviews, along with additional documentation provided by MSU and identified by the AED research team, provide the basis for this case study. This case study is one of nine prepared by AED to document evidence of institutional change in teacher preparation at nine of the 30 universities that took part in the Teachers for A New Era (TNE) Learning Network, an initiative supported beginning in 2005 by a grant from the Annenberg Foundation, with additional funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. AED selected the nine universities based upon a variety of factors, including their degree of engagement in the Learning Network, and their willingness to specify a program objective and indicator (s) of change that reflected important work underway and would serve as the focus of this case study. Appended are: (1) Portrait of a Teacher; and (2) Interviewees.
