Autonomous Boards and Standards-Based Teacher Development

Abstract
This article provides a history of the Indiana Professional Standards Board in governing teacher preparation and licensure and the redesign of the state's teacher preparation and licensure system. The authors conclude that although there are tremendous challenges ahead, the board has earned the respect of education constituencies within the state and has been an effective force in bringing these constituencies to the table to discuss the issues facing teacher quality in Indiana.
