With the exception of Vermont, all state educationalagencies responded to a survey questionnaire designed to ascertainthe current status of competency assessment teacher certification(CAC). Only 19 states presently award certificates through CAC. Thiscan be explained partially by the fact that state educationalagencies can attain the goal of CAC only when the teacher preparationinstitutions make the complex transition to performance-based teachereducation programs. Nine states have decided against CAC, five areundecided, and the remaining 35 states (70%) intend to implement CACat some future date. Thirty-seven state educational agencies considerthe assessment of teacher competencies to be the responsibility ofteacher preparation institutions. Seven states report that there issome plan for the renewal of term certification or the issualce ofpermanent certification on the basis of assessing the teacher'scompetencies while he is employed. AFour tables and a copy of thesurvey instrument are included.) (H MD)

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Purpose of the Report:

This publication reports actual current practice relatedto the granting of teacher certification on the basis ofa's.essed competencies. It is provided to each state educationalagency and shared with other edu ational planning groups.

(

The need for such information by the Pennsylvania Competency-Assessment Certification Program-p ovided the impetus forcollection and compilation of the infbrmation reported by therespective states.

B. Definitions

For purpoSes of this study, the following definitions apply.

1. Competency-Based Teacher Education (CBTE)--Respectivestate educational agency approVal of a. teacher educationpreparation program which:

a. Offers within a designated teaching or educationalspecialist area for which the state educationalagency issues a professional certificate orlicense.Designs to evaluate the degree of teachingcompetence of the students upon entry to, andat progressive points throughout the approvedprogram, and to provide students with anopportunity to acquire Proficiency,in areasof identified deficiency.

c. Includes an assessment component to verifythe satisfactory attainment of the specified"exit" competencies.

2. Performance -Based Teacher Education (PBTE)--Synonymouswith competency-based teacher` education.

3. Competency-Assessment Certification (CAC)--The award ofentry-level certification'or licensure based upon acompetency-assessment procedure which verifies theapplicant's attainment of an established minimum levelof teaching competency, by either

a. SEA-approved CBTE/PBTEb. A competency-assessment process designed and

conducted by the SEA.

[NOTE: Procedures of school districts, preparing institutions;or stateeducational.agencies--acting separately or cooperatively- -which.permit entry of certain classes of persons (e.g.: those holding earneddegrees in non-education fields, etc.) to teach or perform other schoolstaff support services on a probationary status. If during this period.such persons are rated in some overall performance manner for the purposeof.awarding continuing professional. certification or licensure, suchprocess has not been defined as competency-assessment certification.Such procedures do not verify specific competencies'in advance of initialentry into, and employment within, the educational professions.]

II. CURRENT STATUS

Despite much literature in the last two years pertaining to CBTE/PBTE,Table I suggests that, on a national basis, a rather large gap existsbetween declared intent or professional support and actual implementation.

, Of the 49 states respondiillg,- 30 do not award teachi4 certificatesthrough competency assessment. Of, the 19 states which do. the responsemay represent approval of a single CBTE /PBTE Program.

In explanation, it may be reasoned that state eddcational agenciescan reach attainment of the CAC.goal only when the preparation collegesand universities are "ready" for this'complex transition.' The transition

. calls for (1) identification and broad professional concurrence as towhich teaching competencies are crucial; (2) re-design of the institution's,:rogram to assure thedeveloPment of such identified and acceptedcompetencies by students; (3).development of teacher training and protocolmaterials to implement the CBTE/PBTE.de'Sign, and (4) development ofcompetency-assessment procedures, instrumentation, and materials to.verify the student's attainment of the identified competencies. Unless,like'the state of New York, the state educational agency wishes CO makethe principal thrust. in the effort to develop a .competency-assessmentprocedure which the state department of education itself, will use toassess candidates applying .for educational certification,,competency-assessment certification seems doomed to riding the coattails of theteacher education departments in the higher education community.

It 'is interesting to observe, that, with the exception of Pennsylvania,those states which have made the most progress in CBTE/PBTE and CAC havenoyet joined the movement-. toward broad participation in the. Interstate.Teacher Certification. Reciprocity Program. This suggests that relativelyfew teachers being trained in CBTE/PBTE programs will beassured of,multiple- state certification. From data presented in Table 4 it appears.that in November 1973 only 16 colleges and universities having competency-based programs that can assure their graduates of interstate reciprocityin teacher education.

4

Without supporting the perspective of the New York State Departmentof Education, it may well be that unless the SEA does evolve its own CACprocess, the public schools of a state may not be able to import thegraduates of the more innovative teacher preparation programs for whateverincreased benefits ant competencies CBTE and PBTE programs allegedly develop.

2

III. PROJECTED OUTLOOK

As dismal as the current status &f CBTE/PBTE and CAC may be, thefuture seems to be quite different.

Table 2 indiCates: that, of the 49 states reporting, only nine havemade decisions against_CAC. Indeed, only five others remain undecided.Clearly, in November 1973, 35 'States (70%) declare their intent to issueteaching certifiCates through some form of competeficy-assessment atsome future date. Presumably,! in most cases, this will be a longitudinaltransition on a college-by-college (or program by program) baSis ratherthan a total short -term changeover such as was mandated in the stateof IllinoiS or .a longer-term total transition such as is mandated inNew York. Agaiu, it is interesting to note that Pennsylvania reportsthe most operational CBTE/PBTE programs at this time although thePennsylvania Department of Education clearly launched its statewide,flexible, longitudinal transition upon the principles of "grass root"involvement, professional commitment and empthy, and institutionalautonomy within established guidelifies.,

The responses of the SEA's virtually ring with expectation and'anticipation that their participation in CAC lies just ahead. But,again, caution is suggested because virtually every state educationdepartment is looking, to the teacher education sector for that impetusand as reported candidly by one state: "most of the clamor and actionhas centered about the departments of education ifi our colleges andnot in the departments of'the several academic disciplines."

1V. COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT APPROACHES

If the SEA's are the prime movers behind CBTE/PBTE and CAC that factis obscure by the data. presented in Table 3'.-''Assessment of teachercompetencies is viewed as the responsibility of the-teacher preparationinstitution by 37 states. The survey indicated that this would be achievedby expecting the preparing institution to provide evidence of an assess-ment process as a part of the'program evaluation under the "approvedprogram" concept of teacher certification.

New York, Oregon, Washington, and Pennsylvania have varying butdifferent approaches. In New York, the SEA will assume responsibilityfor performance assessment related to teacher certification by creatingdesignated assessment centers in September 1980. Oregon leans towardapproved programs but operates an alternative system wherein the SEAand the local employing school share responsibility for competencyassessment of persons entering the profession from other sources.Washington, with longer experience in the search for ways and means,has resolved that PBTE/CBTE programs leading to teacher certificationmay be offered only by a consortium of a public school district and acooperating teacher preparing college or university, which under SEAapproval, jointly assess the candidate. It is Pennsylvania's intent at

this time to secure CAC principally through approved CBTE programs atits 86 preparing institutions. But the Pennsylvania Department ofEducation, somewhat like New York, is considering development of a CACstrategy whereby applicants who are not graduates of PennsylvaniaDepartment of Education approved CBTE programs would be assessed by theDivision of Teacher Certification or its designated agencies.

Significantly, all other states look to institutional developmentof an assessment process within its preparation program as the meansof verifying "exit" (professional entry) competencies.

Herein, significantly, lies both the promise and the fate of CAC.

V. CERTIFICATE RENEWAL THROUGH COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

Although not relevant to the purposes of this study nbr within thedefinitions of CBTE, PBTE,' and CAC as used in this report, seven states.report some plan for the renewal of term certification or the issuanceof permanent certification on the basis of assessing the teacher's .

competencies while employed.

It was difficult to ascertain whether the; states were describinghow the customary period of probationary status will be, or is,evaluated for the purpose of determining whether the teacher shall .

receive a i?enewed term certificate or a permanent certificate, or ifthe states were really intending to sharply impose strict accountabilityupon teacher performance via in-service competency-assessment. The.former practice is long established in most states and not without itspitfalls. However, it is clear that Arizona, Massachusetts, and'NewYork are addressing the latter procedure.
