29. About The TExES the next few years, supplant the Examination for the certification of Educatorsin texas (ExCET), which has been the state s teacher certification exam since http://www.excet.nesinc.com/TE_aboutTExES.htm

TO TEACHER CANDIDATES AND TEACHER EDUCATORS: In the fall of 2002, the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) implemented a new teacher certification examination program that will, over the next few years, supplant the Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas (ExCET), which has been the state's teacher certification exam since 1986. At the same time, SBEC introduced a new generation of certificates for Texas teachers. The new certification examination program is called the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES). The change is the result of the evolution of public education in Texas. Since 1998, Texas has been on the forefront of a national movement to improve education and advance student learning by improving the way school curriculum is aligned from grade to grade, from kindergarten through college. SBEC, working in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, developed the K–16 Initiative, which is designed to promote a seamless system of education. The redesign of the educator certification structure is an integral part of the K–16 Initiative. The first step in this process was the development of new standards for beginning Texas public school teachers. These standards are based on the state's required curriculum for public school students, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Developing the new standards and introducing new teacher certificates has been a cooperative process involving numerous committees, each comprised of as many as 25 experts from all educational arenas, from classroom teachers to deans of education, as well as interested citizens.

Johnston Texas students do better on state exams when their instructors are certified in the subjects they teach, according to a report that also says needy students are more likely to have out-of-field teachers. "This is important," said John Cole, the president of the Texas Federation of Teachers. "School districts have been hiring uncertified teachers in huge numbers, not telling anyone, and pretending it doesn't make a difference." The release of the findings is also timely. It comes as Texas lawmakers debate bills to raise teacher pay, end social promotion, expand state tests, and require that parents be told when their children have uncertified teachers.

POLICY ACTION UPDATE Let the Sun Set on SBEC Teacher Certification Board Fails Texas By Chris Patterson Improving Texas public schools depends on qualified teachers. That's why the threat of a teacher shortage prompted the Texas Legislature to create the State Board for Educator Certification in 1995. But SBEC has done little to fix the problem. In fact, SBEC has increased the likelihood that children sit in classrooms without an academically qualified teacher. Since its inception, SBEC has methodically dismantled the academic requirements for prospective teachers. Today, you could be certified to teach algebra even if you failed or never took algebra in college. According to education research, there are two factors that contribute to being a good teacher. The first is a broad body of academic expertise in the field being taught. The second is an expansive vocabulary. SBEC only requires that prospective teachers pass the academic equivalent of the TAAS for the grade they hope to teach. This means a seventh-grader could meet the SBEC academic requirements for teaching the sixth grade. Parents should be frightened. These requirements don't mesh with what we know about good instruction. SBEC is divorcing academic knowledge from teacher certification even further. Two years ago, SBEC drafted a proposal to let teachers teach subjects and grades outside their certification for three years.

What's New To see how schools across Texas do in hiring certified, experienced teachers, The Dallas Morning News created the Teacher Preparation Index (TPI). We gathered data from state agencies addressing three questions for every public school in the state: How many of its teachers are fully certified and teaching in the subject area they're certified in? How many of its teachers are fully certified in any subject area at all? How many of its teachers have at least two years of teaching experience, in that school or anywhere else? For each question, schools that rated in the top 10 percent of all schools were given a 10. Schools in the next 10 percent got a 9, and so on, all the way down to the state's bottom 10 percent, which were given a 1. A school's TPI* rating is the average of its ratings on these three questions. Search for teacher certification levels at every public school in Texas.

Education Overview Announcements Department Chapel ... Education Teacher Certification Search Department: TEACHER CERTIFICATION IN TEXAS Abilene Christian University operates a state accredited or approved program for teacher preparation. We are authorized to recommend individuals who satisfactorily complete our program to the State Board for Educator Certification for certification as Texas teachers. Texas State Law requires local school boards to employ teachers that hold a valid Texas teacher certificate. The traditional undergraduate student may obtain a teacher certificate by completing the approved teacher education program at Abilene Christian University and passing the state required ExCET or TExES exams. They may then apply to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) for the appropriate teacher certificate. Non-traditional undergraduate students usually come to ACU to obtain a teaching certificate through the bachelor of applied studies (BAS) program. These students are older than the traditional undergraduate and have some life experiences that may be used toward their Bachelor's degree. BAS students sometimes graduate before finishing their final certification requirements. Many will complete their requirements after graduation. Alternate Certification Route For other options for certification, call the certification office or SBEC for more information.

Please visit our Response Page for details. February 24, 2003 Preparing Texas Teachers By JIM WINDHAM As we digest the most recent ratings of Texas schools and school districts based on student scores from last year, we should look beyond the TAAS-driven accountability system, as useful as it has been, for more instructive leading indicators of progress toward excellence in public education performance. As Education Commissioner Felipe Alanis said in a recent appearance in Houston, "it's not about where we are, it's about where we are going." We should even look past the new, more rigorous TAKS test as such an indicator. As anyone reasonably conversant with education performance knows, the success of the students in the classroom can be directly correlated with the quality of the teacher in the classroom. This has been confirmed by numerous studies, most particularly those that focus on the value added for individual students after controlling for background characteristics like socioeconomic status. What this means for those of us who are concerned about "where we are going" is that the quality of our teacher preparation system is the absolutely critical element in the enhancement of the quality of our children's education.
