performance of teacher preparation programs. The law requires the Secretary to use these data in submitting an annual 

report on the quality of teacher preparation to the Congress.

Section III. Pass rates and scaled scores

Provide the information in the following tables on the performance of the students in each of your teacher preparation 

program on each teacher certification/licensure assessment used by your state. This information will be provided to your 

institution by the state or the testing company or companies (or entities). In cases where a student has taken a given 

assessment more than once, the highest score on that test must be used. There must be at least 10 students in each 

category taking the same assessment in an academic year for data on that assessment to be reported; for summary data, 

there must also be at least 10 students (although not necessarily taking the same assessment) for data to be reported. In 

cases where there are less than 10 students taking the same assessment and the assessment pass rate is not reported, those 

students must be included in the summary data.

In the case of a teacher preparation program with fewer than 10 scores reported on any single initial teacher certification 

or licensure assessment during an academic year, the program shall collect and publish information with respect to an 

average pass rate and scaled score on each state certification or licensure assessment taken over a three-year period.
