Improving Teacher Quality in Louisiana

The Blue Ribbon Commission on Teacher Quality was formed by the Board of Regents and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in April of 1999, and reconstituted in 2001, for the purpose of improving teacher quality in Louisiana. It was given the charge of recommending policies to the Governor, Board of Regents, and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education that would lead to a cohesive PK-20+ system to hold universities and school districts accountable for the aggressive recruitment, preparation, support, and retention of quality teachers who produced higher achieving K-12 students.

Questions related to the Blue Ribbon Commission may be addressed to the Office of Educator Support, Louisiana Department of Education.
