5,243 Illinois teachers failed key exams September 6, 2001 BY ROSALIND ROSSI, BECKY BEAUPRE AND KATE N. GROSSMAN STAFF REPORTERS This past spring, a group of Chicago children learned their lessons from a teacher who had flunked 24 of 25 tests of teacher competence. In Elgin District 46, students studied the English language with a teacher who had failed 21 of 21 tests for teachers. That included nine of nine Basic Skills testsan exam so easy, experts say, an eighth- or ninth-grader should pass it on the first try. And in Aurora last school year, a group of elementary children took classes from a teacher who failed 15 of 16 teacher competency tests. The three teachers were among hundreds employed full time last year in Illinois public schools who had not passed both a Basic Skills test and a subject matter test. Both must be passed for a regular, or "initial," Illinois teaching certificate. Far morenearly 5,250failed at least one Illinois certification test, though most went on to pass later. Such teachers stood at the head of classrooms and taught more than 180,000 Illinois children last spring, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation found. With calls for improved student achievement echoing across the state and nation, the Chicago Sun-Times analyzed the achievement of teachers on tests meant to gauge their competence. It examined the results of nearly 166,000 Illinois certification tests taken by more than 67,000 public school teachers who taught full time last school yearmore than half of the state's public teaching force. All had been tested since Illinois began giving its own certification exams in 1988.

BEST PRACTICE RESOURCES A COMMITMENT TO ILLINOIS EDUCATION Barry Sweeny, President of Best Practice Resources, has been an Illinois teacher and administrator for 22 years and then worked for 6 years at two Regional Offices of Education in Illinois. He has also been a part of the three year effort to establish mandated, state-funded induction for new teachers. He lives in Wheaton, Illinois and is very committed to making education in Illinois all it can be. WHY A WEB PAGE JUST FOR ILLINOIS EDUCATORS Barry has served on all three of the Illinois State Board of Education Teacher Induction Panels meeting in 1998, 1999, and 2000. These panels have researched quality new teacher induction and mentoring programs all over the world and have developed recommendations for the ISBE and Illinois General Assembly proposing mandated mentoring programs and mentoring for every initially certified teacher in Illinois. Barry was a co-author of each of these panels final reports. Barry's knowledge of these developments led him to create this section of the web site to help Illinois educators find out about these proposed changes and to locate the resources and assistance they need to address this emerging initiative. You do not want to begin learning how to deal with this challenge should it become the law. Proactive educators and schools should take full advantage now of these resources to improve the ways in which you address the needs of your beginning teachers and support their success.
