Five papers given at a conference on the role of testing in the teaching profession are presented. The conference partners included the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, Educational Testing Service, Center for Fair and Open Testing, and National Education Association. The following issues are discussed: appropriate uses of testing within the teaching profession; who should control of the content, construction, and use of teacher tests; translation of public demands for teacher accountability into appropriate and equitable testing policies and procedures; and steps for preventing the misuse of teacher tests. The papers include: (1) "The NEA Perspective on the Role of Testing in the Profession" (Sharon P. Robinson); (2) "Teacher Testing in American Education: Useful But No Shortcut to Excellence" (Gregory R. Anrig); (3) "Testing Teachers: Strategies for Damage Control" (John G. Weiss); (4) "The Appropriate Role of Testing in the Teaching Profession" (Norene F. Daly); and (5) "Highlighting the Critical Issues" (Louis J. Rubin). Conference participants' observations and recommendations and panelists' reactions to the observations and recommendations are provided. Appropriate methods, times, and subjects for testing; the relation of testing to professional preparation and training; testing of minorities; and development and implementation of an agenda to implement testing policy are also discussed. The names and affiliations of the conference participants are listed. (TJH)

Testing Teacher Candidates by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Testing and Assessment,Center for Education,Committee on Assessment and Teacher Quality Pdf

Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates.
