Study: Students Learn More from Teachers Who Can Pass ABCTE Certification Exams

|

WASHINGTON, DC (May 11, 2006) –Teachers who have the knowledge to pass national certification exams produce higher student learning gains than teachers who fail those same exams. These findings, from a study released today by the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE), demonstrate that ABCTE certification in elementary education can be a valid predictor of teacher performance in the classroom. 

 

The study, Student Achievement and Passport to Teaching Certification in Elementary Education, found that veteran teachers who passed the ABCTE Multiple Subject Exam (MSE) and Professional Teaching Knowledge (PTK) Exam produce higher student learning gains in math, science and social studies, and significantly higher overall student achievement, than teachers who failed one or both of those exams.
