Abstract: This request is for a revision

Card (SRC), and institutions of higher
education (IHEs) with teacher
preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs
outside of IHEs, must report on key
program elements on an Institution and
Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and
TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to
their states on program elements,
including program numbers, type,

to the state. States, in turn, must report
on TPP elements to the Secretary of

issued, TPP classification as at-risk or
low-performing. The information from
states, institutions, and programs is
published annually in The Secretary’s
Report to Congress on Teacher Quality.
The revisions to the IPRC consist of
the following:
• A new sub-section about the impact
of COVID–19 in Section I: Program

four questions in the first data collection
year in which it is implemented, due to

question in subsequent data collection
years.
• A new question about student
completion rate in Section I: Program

race/ethnicity categories in Section I:
Program Information.

have three questions in the first data
collection year in which it is
implemented, due to retrospective
questions going back to academic year
2019–20, but only one question in
subsequent data collection years.
