"Every school ToBecomeATeacher.org listed in our national review tool has committed themselves to the pursuit of excellence in the field of Education," noted Tim Charlet; the Editor of ToBecomeATeacher.org. "However, there are certain attributes that the top schools in each state possess that gives future teachers the best opportunities to succeed. Whether it's the affordability of the program, the graduation rate, teacher to student ratio or return on investment, today's college student needs to consider each element in their decision making process."
