Should Tougher Basic Skills Requirements Be Viewed as a Means of Strengthening the Teaching Force?

Memory, David M.; Antes, Richard L.; Corey, Noble R.; Chaney, David E.

Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education, v15 n3 p181-91 Sep 2001

Evaluated the criterion-related validity of one state's basic skills requirements for teacher licensure. All 186 participants met the basic requirements when enrolled as teacher education students, but the reading scores of 77 participants and the mathematics scores of 67 did not meet the state's current requirement. Findings provide no criterion-related support for the current requirements. (SLD)
