The Line: Grading New Mexico Teacher Prep Programs

New Mexico’s Department of Education has also instituted a grading system for teacher training programs at the state’s colleges. Host Gene Grant and the Line panelists discuss the latest results and how the system might be changed or adapted moving forward.
