- Summary:
-
A statewide survey was conducted by the Michigan State Board of Education to determine public opinion on teacher competency testing. Concern about the quality of education in the United States has risen as students' performance on achievement tests has declined. Accountability, competency, and effective teaching are often seen as synonymous with the present reform movement in teacher education. The survey found that 97% of those polled favored competency tests in content areas in which instructors were teaching. To reward superior teaching, 76% agreed that salaries should be connected to an effective evaluation system. Competency screening is only one aspect of the present educational reform movement, but it is one that has captured the attention of the public. The appendix contains a summary of recent changes in teacher preparation, a copy of Enrolled Senate Bill No. 447, and a list of state mandated tests for the whole country. (SLD)
