MICHIGAN -- To comply with federal regulations that require states
to evaluate the effectiveness of their teacher preparation programs, the
Michigan Department of Education recently published the performance
scores for the state's 31 programs. Almost all of the programs
passed, and the two that did not will have two years to improve before
facing state sanctions. Criteria for determining the rating--the maximum
being 70 points--include the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification
scores, new teacher surveys and program completion rates. Oakland
University in Auburn Hills and Hope College in Holland each earned the
top score among all the institutions, which was 68. Under Title II of
the Higher Education Act, every October states must submit to the U.S.
Department of Education information on certification and license
requirements, pass rates on state assessments and teacher standards.
