Part III: Certification Test Data

Information provided includes the number of Texas Tech students who passed the state-required tests for certification during the period 9/1/07 through 12/31/08. The Accountability System for Educator Preparation Programs (ASEP) uses initial pass rates (tests taken through December following the academic year of completion) and final pass rates (tests taken through December of the second year following the academic year of completion) to determine program approval. The source for pass rates information is the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC).

|Note: Effective Spring 2007, if the pass rate (initial 70% or final 80%) of the candidates within a certification field (of at least 10 |

|completers) is low performing for three consecutive years, the entity may no longer admit persons for preparation in that field (TAC Rule |

|229.4)   |

Part VI: Other State Reports

Table 25: Legislative Budget Board (LBB) Performance Measure

Educator preparation programs at public colleges and universities are required to report certification rates of teacher education graduates to the Legislative Budget Board (LBB). The certification rate required by the LBB is based upon the percentage of an institution’s undergraduate teacher education program graduates who become certified to teach no later than the end of the fiscal year following the year of graduation from the program. This measure is used to provide an indicator of the effectiveness of an undergraduate teacher-education program’s production of certified educators.

Part VIII: Glossary of Terms

Accreditation: Official recognition that an entity or institution meets required standards. Texas Tech University’s teacher preparation program is accredited by both the Texas State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

ASEP: Texas has a legislated Accountability System for Educator Preparation (ASEP) system that rates educator preparation programs as Accredited, Accredited-Preliminary, and Accredited-Under Review since 2002 under Texas Administrative Code 229.3. Initially the ASEP ratings were based on how program completers performed on the state certification exams in seven demographic groups (All students, Female, Male, African American, Hispanic, Other and White). The completers must have a minimum of 70% initial pass rate or an 80% final pass rate for each group. Beginning Spring 2007, the ASEP system began monitoring certification fields within an educator preparation system under Texas Administrative Code 229.4. If the pass rate (70% initial or 80% final) of the candidates within a certification field of at least 10 completers is low performing for three consecutive years, the entity may no longer admit candidates for preparation in that field.

Basic Skills: "the ability to read, write and speak in English, and to use mathematics at a level necessary to function at work and in society in general"  -- The Basic Skills Agency

Bilingual Education: The use of two or more languages for instruction. In the United States, students in most bilingual classes or programs are those who have not acquired full use of the English language, so they are taught academic content in their native language (usually Spanish) while continuing to learn English.

Candidate: a participant in an educator preparation program

Cohort: a group of candidates with the expectation of beginning and completing their program on the same timeline

Critical Shortage Areas: Certification fields that are difficult to fill including math, science, bilingual, special education, English as a Second Language, foreign languages and technology (as defined by TEA)

EPP: Educator Preparation Programs

English as a Second Language (ESL): Teaching English to non-English-speaking or limited-English-proficient (LEP) students to help them learn and succeed in Schools. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) has generally the same meaning as ESL

Field-based experiences: experiences in which the primary activity of a candidate for certification is the performance of professional educator activities while interacting with pre-kindergarten-Grade 12 students and teachers and university faculty/staff members in a school-related setting. The professional activities include more than observation within a classroom. The interaction with students, teachers, and university personnel must be ongoing and relevant.

Intern: a candidate with a bachelor’s degree, formally accepted into an educator preparation program that is employed in a supervised educational experience leading to standard certification. At Texas Tech, the intern must have completed all courses except for Internship and Capstone and have passed the content area certification exam.

Pedagogy: The art and science of teaching; especially the conscious use of particular instructional methods.

Post baccalaureate (Post Bac): Individuals with a bachelor’s degree who are taking additional hours for teacher certification but not enrolled in a degree seeking program

Probationary Certificate: a type of credential, valid for one calendar year, issued to an individual who is enrolled in an educator preparation program, employed as an educator, and is serving in a supervised internship to satisfy the field experience requirements of the certificate. The holder of a Probationary Certificate must be employed by an accredited Texas public or private school in a position appropriate for the certificate sought.

Professional: A certification program that requires or leads to a master’s degree; e.g., superintendent, principal, school counselor, educational diagnostician, reading specialist

Standard Certificate: The official educator license issued by the Texas State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC); must be renewed every five years to remain valid. The Standard Certificate replaced the lifetime Provisional and Professional Certificates in 1999.

SCH: University semester credit hour; 1 semester hour = 15 clock hours

TEKS: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills; the state curriculum in Texas

TExES: Texas Examination of Educator Standards. TAC 230.5(b) requires every person seeking educator certification in Texas to perform satisfactorily on comprehensive examinations. The purpose of these examinations is to ensure that each educator has the prerequisite content and professional knowledge necessary for an entry-level position in Texas public schools

THEA: Texas Higher Education Assessment, used to assess basic skills in math, reading and writing

TOPT: Texas Oral Proficiency Test, used to assess a candidate’s ability to speak Spanish or French.

Undergraduate: a student enrolled in a college or university seeking a baccalaureate degree
