The anatomy of a bad teacher prep program

Yesterday, someone posted this link to the various CS teacher groups on Facebook. A Masters program in teaching CS. As I usually do, I took a look. I've spoken before about the variation of quality in teacher certification programs across all subjects. Some are great but many (many) are bad. I blame this largely on NCLB but that's for another day. For CS I've lamented that while I'd like to think that my program is strong and I know there are programs like Siena's that are great but there are others both in NY State and out that are quite frankly, certificate mills.
