State Board Sets Teacher Proficiency Standards In Kansas
Kansas State Board of Education moved to require education majors to hold at least a 2.5 grade average and to pass a proficiency test for entry into teacher prep programs. The board rejected a proposal for education graduates to be certified after exams. A probationary one year certification was also rejected. The move, with no timetable, leaves implementation at least two years away. The board also urged stronger evaluation of teacher education programs and affirmed local district curriculum independence while urging better communication.
