7 BACKGROUND REQUIRED TEACHER LICENSURE TESTS The Minnesota Board of Teaching is committed to establishing and maintaining quality standards for the licensing of teachers who teach in Minnesota public schools. As part of these standards, specific and selected examinations serve as important instruments in the licensing process. The purpose of the examinations of professional knowledge and subject matter is to measure examinees pedagogical and subject matter knowledge of the subject(s) in which they are seeking licensure. Praxis II Professional Knowledge Assessments Principles of Learning and Teaching Tests use a case study approach to measure the examinees general pedagogical knowledge at three grade levels: K-6, 5-9, and The tests feature short answer essays and multiple-choice items. Subject Assessments Subject tests measure the examinees knowledge of the subject(s) in which they are seeking teacher licensure. Praxis I Academic Skills Assessments (reading, writing, mathematics) The Board of Teaching adopted different licensure examinations to measure licensure applicants basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The basic skills tests are designed to determine objectively if prospective teachers have adequate skills in reading, writing, and mathematics to meet the needs of the learners whom they serve, regardless of grade or subject taught. Background information, tests descriptions, and performance of licensure applicants on the Pre-Professional Skills Tests are reported separately. See: Report to the Legislature, March 2005, Minnesota Laws 1 st Special Session, Chapter 6, Article 2, Section 7, Subdivision 2(b). ADOPTING TEACHER LICENSURE TESTS The Board of Teaching selected Educational Testing Service as the administrator to provide and administer tests of 1) general pedagogical knowledge, and 2) subject-content knowledge for all candidates applying for an initial Minnesota teaching license. The Board adopted three tests to measure the general pedagogical knowledge of licensure applicants: 1

8 1. Principles of Learning and Teaching Grades K-6, 2. Principles of Learning and Teaching Grades 5-9, 3. Principles of Learning and Teaching Grades Each of the tests of general pedagogical knowledge focus on standards adopted by the Minnesota Board of Teaching and are identified in Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice for Teachers (Part , Adopted Permanent Rules Regarding Teacher Licensure). Subject-content tests were adopted for 21 different licensure fields. Eight additional subject-content tests were adopted and required beginning October 1, Data for the eight additional tests are not available for this report and will be included next year. All candidates applying for an initial Minnesota teaching license must demonstrate knowledge and skills in the respective field for which they are seeking licensure. Subject-content tests focus on the subject matter competencies identified in standards adopted by the Minnesota Board of Teaching identified in Parts to , Adopted Permanent Rules Regarding Teacher Licensure. The Educational Testing Service convened nearly 400 professional educators from across Minnesota to serve as panelists to validate each test for use in Minnesota and to recommend a state qualifying score to the Board of Teaching. Twelve to twenty panelists were selected by the Minnesota Board of Teaching for each adopted test based on selection criteria designed to help ensure that panelists (1) were familiar with the job requirements in the relevant licensure area and the capabilities of the beginning teacher, (2) were representative of Minnesota public school educators in terms of gender, ethnicity, and geographic region within the state, and (3) consisted primarily of Minnesota licensed teachers. SETTING MINNESOTA QUALIFYING SCORES To set the performance standards for initial teacher licensure the Minnesota Board of Teaching used documentation from the field-testing study (3 statewide administrations of the tests conducted between November 2000 January 2001), national performance data, and recommendations from the Minnesota validity studies conducted in 2001, to determine the appropriateness of each test. After the systematic review of summarized standard setting study data, which represented the professional judgments of Minnesota educators from representative educational institutions at elementary through college/university levels, a decision was made by the Minnesota Board of Teaching to set qualifying scores, effective September 1,

9 The Minnesota scores were set by the Board of Teaching and were derived from the panels judgments (a study value). State scores were not enforced until September 1, This report is based on the performance of approximately 8,000 licensure applicants who took the tests from September 2001 through June The performance of various reference groups were considered when setting the qualifying scores, including Minnesota graduates, gender, and race/ethnicity. The following is extracted from the validity study and might help with this question: What advantages and disadvantages should be considered in setting higher qualifying scores? Setting a higher passing score has certain potential advantages as well as disadvantages that should be considered. By setting a higher score, one would hope to improve professional standards. Higher professional standards may also have strong public appeal in terms of addressing current nationwide concerns about the need for excellence in education. However, in setting a higher score, student enrollment in teacher preparation programs as well as the supply of future teachers might be diminished. Also, research suggests that some minority groups are adversely affected by the setting of high passing scores. What advantages and disadvantages should be considered in setting lower qualifying scores? In general, the lower the qualifying score is set, the less the risk of rejecting qualified candidates who happen to score below the study values. At the same time, however, the greater is the risk that unqualified candidates will exceed the adjusted qualifying score. Advantages in setting a lower passing score would be to increase the number of students entering teacher preparation programs. Thus, the supply of applicants for teaching positions would not be drastically affected and efforts at affirmative action might be more successfully pursued. TESTS DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION All adopted Praxis II tests: 1. Provide a complete list of objectives for each examination and the specifications to be used in item development. 2. Show a relationship between the recommended objectives for each examination and the domains of knowledge and skills identified in Minnesota s Standards of Effective Practice for Teachers; and between the recommended objectives for each field-specific content knowledge and skills examination(s) and Minnesota subject-matter standards in to Provide sufficient depth in the item pool and multiple forms of each examination. 3

10 4. Were validated by Minnesota teachers and teacher educators. 5. Were field-tested (trial period ). Administration Procedures The Praxis II licensure tests: 1. Provide a system that allows maximum opportunities for examinee registration and payment, including paper, telephone and Internet registration, and credit card payment. Administered 6 times annually. 2. Provide accommodations at all sites for examinees with disabilities and those whose religion precludes them from taking tests on a Saturday; and granting of special testing accommodations in compliance with ADA, proposing alternative assessment accommodations for individuals with learning and physical disabilities and examinees whose first language is other than English (ESL). 3. Are systematically reviewed by test item and procedures to ensure a lack of systematic bias due to gender, race, ethnicity, or any other factor not related to the test content. 4. Are reviewed to ensure that they are given under fair, uniform, and secure conditions. 5. Provide documented procedures for protecting the security of the form(s) of the tests. 6. Provide information about both individual and aggregated data, including significant subgroups, of all test results to Minnesota teacher preparation institutions and the Minnesota Board of Teaching. 7. Provide tabulation and reporting of the results of each test to the candidate within a specific time period following the examination date and make provisions to report evidence of the successful completion of the test to the preparing institution designated by the candidate and to the Minnesota Department of Education, Division of Educator Licensing & Teacher Quality. 4
