march 6 2017 State education officials plan to scrap a literacy exam given to prospective teachers and allow certification for some applicants who fail a performance assessment test — moves that critics warned will weaken the pool of candidates.

Sources said the moves will likely be approved, leading to outcry from those who believe they are important assessment tools.

“It’s alarming because we’ve now abandoned or watered down the teacher evaluation process, and now we’re lowering the bar for entry certification as well,” said Charles Sahm, director of education policy at the Manhattan Institute.

The literacy test has been accused of skewing against minorities and being redundant — but Sahm called it an important tool in bringing in qualified candidates.

“I think it’s important that we increase the share of black and Hispanic teachers, and we certainly don’t have enough here or anywhere. But I don’t think this is the way to go,” Sahm said. “This is a literacy exam. If you’re going to be a teacher in New York state, this is a criteria you should be able to meet.”

Sources said education officials also were concerned about the disparity between passing rates among white and minority candidates.

In 2013-14, only 48 percent of aspiring black teachers and 56 percent of prospective Hispanic educators passed, compared to 75 percent of white candidates, the website Chalkbeat reported in February.

Apparently your source doesn't know that NY State requires teachers to have a Masters Degree.

Master's degree? That's racist!

In addition to being racist, it's also wrong. A bachelor's and teaching credential is what is required.

People post whatever the hell they want.

After a certain amount of time teachers are often required to attain a master's or master's equivalency.

Yes, my brother is teaching in NC and wants to go home to NY but can't afford the time and money to get his masters which is required.

Fake news

Conservatives are all for repealing regulations, except when it comes to teachers they hate so much. It's not an exam about whether you can read or not. It's just another hoop for teachers to jump through to get a career that doesn't pay enough. That's why there's a shortage.

LOL...no surprise! Anyone who's been to school in America knows that nogs and beaners are 2 of the dumbest groups on the planet!

This could explain why public school educated children (specifically in the inner cities) struggle, the teachers are a joke

And after they get tenure they'll be there till they're 75.

Mhm...our oldest daughters are on the school debate team, if it wasn't so sad it would be comical when they go up against inner city public school debate teams. Unprepared, ill informed and they can't carry themselves well

That's because Tyrone left Tasheenaquina so the niglets sit at home all day listening to rap music and eat chitlins for dinner!

And they're a joke because of affirmative action. If you're black you get to teach HS math even if you can't tell time. And most blacks can't tell time - that's why they always miss appointments.

Even if that's true so what? There are thousands of blacks with PhDs who can't read. It's all about affirmative action. Blacks get a scholarship because they're black and then the school graduates them without even looking at their grades. THINK
