-
A history of teacher testing in South Carolina was presented to serve as a context within which the current teacher evaluation system might be interpreted. Legislation in 1940 mandated that renewal of certificates and issuance of new certificates to teachers be predicated upon the applicant's completion of a comprehensive and objective examination. The Common Examinations of the National Teacher Examinations (NTE) became a requirement for certification in 1945. As of 1957, applicants who scored below 332 on the NTE were denied certification. A revised certification procedure became effective in 1969 which required applicants to take the Common Examinations and the NTE Teaching Area Examination appropriate for their field. In 1976 the State Board adopted separate minimum score requirements by teaching field. The General Assembly recently passed the Educator Improvement Act (Act 187, 1979) which created the Educator Improvement Task Force as a separate state agency. This body was responsible for implementing provisions of Act 187. The Task Force was dissolved in 1982 after submission of its "Final Report and Plan for Implementation" to the State Board of Education. Almost all mandates of Act 187 were in effect as of March 1984. (DWH)
