CCSU: A "Star" in
Teaching Future Teachers
|
|
Reporter
Robert Frahm, notes in
the CT Mirror,
“Colleges and
universities that train
new teachers in
Connecticut are
producing too many
graduates who don't know
how to teach children to
read, according to the
latest results of a
teacher licensing exam.”
There is an exception to
that discouraging
picture: “the star of
the system was
Central Connecticut
State University in
New Britain. At Central,
one of the state's
largest producers of new
teachers, just 58
percent of test-takers
got passing scores on
four separate
administrations of the
exam between May and
November of 2009. The
school responded by
setting up review
sessions, establishing
tutorial programs and
stressing the
significance of the test
to faculty and students.
On the latest test, 73
percent passed.” For
