Louisiana College's TEACH program was one of the ten which received both program approval and met the state's certification structure approval. Louisiana College's Practitioner Teacher Program is an 18-30 hour program designed for those who participate in an intensive summer program, seminars during the fall and spring, and an internship while working full time as a teacher in a school. If candidates successfully complete the program at the end of an 18-month period, they would receive their certification. "The first year of the pilot practitioner teacher program, TEACH, has been very successful. The sixty participants have been observed by four different school-based and external evaluators and have proven to be highly productive teachers. The program is centered around an individual's ability to teach on a day to day basis using the latest teaching techniques and methods in an exemplary fashion," said Dr. Joe Aguillard, Chair of the Division of Education and Coordinator of the Department of Teacher Education.

Grambling State University Office of Communications and Public Affairs GSU educators design teacher certification examination preparation model GRAMBLING - Preparation of quality teachers was the goal of several faculty members in the Teacher Education Department of the College of Education at Grambling State University who designed a model to help teacher education test takers master the Praxis examination. The Praxis exam is the testing component used in the certification of teachers. The Praxis series is a program developed by the Educational Testing Service and includes several types of tests that are used as assessment tools for teacher candidates across the country. Each state has a "cut-off score" for those students entering the teacher preparation program. Teacher candidates must also meet requirements for a given state. Three GSU faculty members, Elaine Foster, assistant professor of education; Dr. Kathryn Newman and Dr. Loretta Walton Jaggers, both professors of education, designed The ACHIEVE Model. The model was the result of a review of related literature regarding test mastery and numerous years of experience that the team had in conducting test preparation workshops at Grambling State University and surrounding areas. The model was basically designed to help test takers enhance content knowledge, expand test taking skills and strengthen their self confidence in an effort to promote test mastery. The model was also designed to help expand and reinforce skills necessary for promoting effective teaching and learning in the classroom.
