Title II Reporting: Queens College's Education Programs and Public Accountability
In October 1998, Congress voiced its concern for the quality of teacher preparation by enacting Title II of the Higher Education Act (HEA). Title II creates comprehensive Teacher Quality Enhancement Programs designed to increase elementary and secondary education student achievement by ensuring accountability in teacher preparation programs.
Section 207 of Title II requires the annual organization and submission of reports on teacher preparation and certification programs. The one specifically concerning Queens College monitors and reports the results of the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations (NYSTCE) for all colleges and universities in New York State. These examinations consist of the Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST), the Assessment of Teaching Skills - Written (ATS-W), and the Content Specialty Tests (CST's i.e., the content that emphasizes material studied in a specific subject area).
In compliance with federal requirements, Queens College reports the percentages of students who have completed our teacher education programs and who have passed each of the three teacher certification exams. Recent test results are available on the Teacher Certification Office Web site.
The New York State Teacher Education Web site provides an annual statewide summary of the passing percentages for the three certification tests of the NTSTCE for all colleges and universities in New York State. If there are any questions regarding this information, contact Christine Howard, Queens College Coordinator of Title II Reporting (718-997-5547).
