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 9/1/09 through 8/31/10. 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)

GPA and Test ASEP Report Summary
September 2010
SB 174 and the new Accountability System for Educator Preparation programs require that programs report
the GPA (cumulative and content area) basic skills test results of candidates admitted to the initial teaching
program (at the time of admission). Attached is the report compiled for our 09-10 admitted candidates. This
data will be summarized for the TEA consumer website (forthcoming).
Here’s a few things of note:
Average SAT score:

Continually identified as a high needs teaching fields, the math and science teaching areas
have become even more strategic with the State Board of Education’s changing the high school
graduation requirements to include four years of mathematics and four years of science.
Key Strategies:
1. New certification specialties in elementary Math/Science and secondary
Mathematics, Physical Science, and Engineering.
2. Offering more options for the middle level certificate in math and science areas.
3. Continued and new scholarships through the Howard Hughes science education
scholar program and the Texas Tech Noyce Scholars Program.
25
4. Advertising and promoting the federal funded TEACH grant and signing bonuses
offered by school districts for teachers of math and science.

Part VI: Other State Reports
Table 21: 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.

SBEC TAC 230.5c specifying that program “completers” must be authorized by their program to take the
certification test(s). Rule into effect 9/1/01. Teacher preparation programs were then held accountable (through the
ASEP report) for certification results of their program completers.

SBEC implemented standards-based certification programs in lieu of credit-hour based programs; TExES exams
replaced ExCET exams (phased in over several years)

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-Not Rated, AccreditedWarned, Accredited-Probation, and Not Accredited-Revoked, revised in 2010 in response to
SB174 and HEA, under Texas Administrative Code 229. The ASEP ratings are based on how
program completers in seven demographic groups (All students, Female, Male, African
American, Hispanic, Other and White), with small group exception (<10), perform on four
standards. The four standards are (1) the Pass Rate on certification exams, (2) the results of
appraisals of beginning teachers by school administrations, (3) the improvement in student
achievement of students taught by beginning teachers for the first three years (expected in 2013),
and (4) the results of data collections on the frequency, duration and quality of field supervision
of beginning teachers during the first year in the classroom.
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 limitedEnglish-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
32
Field-based experiences: experiences in which the primary activity of a candidate for
certification is the performance of professional educator activities while interacting with prekindergarten-Grade 12 students and teachers and university faculty/staff members in a schoolrelated 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
Undergraduate: a student enrolled in a college or university seeking a baccalaureate degree
