What it does

This bill relates to the assessments administered to practitioner preparation program students prior to students’ completion of a practitioner preparation program. Current law provides that the state board of education shall adopt rules requiring all higher education institutions providing practitioner preparation to, prior to a student’s completion of the practitioner preparation program, administer either subject assessments designed by a nationally recognized testing service that measure pedagogy and knowledge or a valid and reliable subject-area-specific, performance-based assessment centered on student learning.
