Abstract | Teacher Education Advisory Committees (TEAC) are groups of individuals from higher education, K-12 Schools, and other stakeholders who have a vested interest in improving teacher education and teacher candidate preparation programs. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to ascertain the role and impact of the TEAC on a teacher preparation program (TPP). Specifically, it examined the following questions: (1) How are TEACs structured, populated, and identified by TPPs? (2) What are TEAC members' perceptions of their role in supporting the teacher preparation program and its K-12 school partnerships? (3) What are the TEAC members' perceptions of their expertise as part of the TEAC, in the preparation of teacher candidates for job readiness?The sample included faculty and K-12 school partners who serve on their TPP's TEAC. The (DIAQ) Decision Involvement and Analysis Questionnaire, developed by David Flannery (1992), was used to measure both faculty and K-12 partner school advisory board member perceptions on their impact on the TPP. Additionally, a general survey tool was used to gain insight into the role and responsibilities of the TEAC members. Finally, interviews were conducted to contextualize the survey data and create a narrative to support findings from the research. Findings from the study indicated establishing strong partnerships is a key element in maintaining a teacher education advisory committee. Other findings indicated that the membership of the advisory committee should represent the diversity of the stakeholders impacted by the teacher preparation program. Unexpectedly, the K-12 school partner members of the TEAC expressed little interest in making decisions about the programmatic structure of the TPP.
