Title II Information
	In October 1998, the Higher Education Reauthorization Act passed by the U.S. Congress mandated that all government funded  colleges with teacher preparation programs develop and publish an annual report on their teacher education programs. Included in the report are information on student teaching, the pass rates of program completers on state tests (Basic Skills and Content), and contextual information reflecting on the quality of the teacher preparation program. Below is the information for Roosevelt University's College of Education for the 2005-2006 academic year (July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006), the most recent year for which data is available.
