In collaboration with programs across the country, TPI-US has highlighted promising practices for each judgment area of the TPI-US Inspection Framework in order to disseminate information about practices that show the potential to strengthen programs. These practices have been identified through TPI-US inspection and on-site review work and co-authored by Matthew D. Campbell, Ed.D, TPI-US Team Inspector. It is our hope that the information on these pages will help other programs around the country eager to learn about high quality teacher preparation.
