Abstract	This study, which updates a report prepared by the Commission in 2000, examines the capacity of teacher preparation programs at Maryland colleges and universities to increase their production of new teachers. The study analyzes both the supply and demand aspects of the capacity issue in Maryland. On the supply side, it looks at the intended majors of college-bound high school graduates, the number of students who enroll in teacher preparation programs and how many additional students could be accommodated within current resources, participation in the Professional Development School internship, enrollments and completers in community college teacher education transfer programs, the number of certified teachers being produced, and the anticipated number of teacher candidates expected. Figures are presented by subject area and institution. On the demand side, it examines the number of new hires by Maryland school systems and the sources from which they were recruited, the certification areas in which shortages are expected, and the number of new teachers by subject area who are expected to be needed by Maryland schools in 2006-2007. The statistical information was supplemented by the responses to questions posed to the heads of all teacher preparation programs in Maryland. The study concludes with policy questions arising from the results. Related memorandums and questionnaires are appended. (Contains 15 tables.) (ERIC).
