92 percent pass teaching test
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Only 67 of 853 candidates to become certified teachers in Kansas have reported they did not pass the state's preexamination examination since the tests were instituted early this year, the State Board of Education was told Monday.
Bert Jackson, a precertification specialist with the Department of Education, said 92.1 percent of the education students who reported scores to the department had passed all four components of the test.
"We are now issuing certificates and denying certificates on the basis of this test," Jackson said.
A law the Kansas Legislature passed in 1894 requires all first-time applicants for teaching certificates in the state after May 1 to pass the precertification exam. The tests, which cover reading, writing, mathematics and professional knowledge, are administered on various public and private college campuses across the state.
Jackson said that she did not know how many teaching certificates had been denied because candidates failed the test. But she said at least 67 fewer people would become certified teachers in Kansas this year than would have if the tests weren't being administered.
A candidate for a teaching position
who fails the test still can be hired under one-year non-renewable teaching certificates issued to school districts. Jackson said.
During the board's April meeting, officials said 53 students who took the exam during the first round of testing Jan. 25, reported they received failing marks and another 370 reported passing scores.
The figures Jackson distributed to board members Monday indicated that only 14 people who took the test during the second round, on April 5, had reported the exam while 416 reported they had passed.
