Teacher Redesign The Redesign of Teacher Education, which was formally adopted by MHEC in May 1995 and endorsed by the State Board of Education in June 1995, has guided reform efforts in teacher education throughout the state of Maryland. The Redesign emphasizes a systemic approach to improving teaching and learning in schools through a solid teacher preparation program grounded in a foundation of content knowledge and pedagogy. In the Redesign, the teacher preparation program is viewed in the broader context of school improvement and is expected to enhance the education of all children. One of the recommendations of the Redesign includes a sustained, intensive internship within a professional development school (PDS) that exemplifies diversity among students under the guidance of mentor classroom teachers and IHE faculty.
