#teacher certification

Hey all!

Many of you know that I am getting everything done to be a teacher. That means getting 1 more test passed. Which is math and I hate math. With that in mind, don't be surprised if I go days without being on and interacting. My test is on August 6th and I need to pass this one as I want to have my own classroom. Luckily, I have found a test prep company that is more than just answering the same questions repeatedly. I'm basically relearning math concepts that I was supposed to have mastered when I was in middle and high school.+

New York- lowering the standards for teachers to satisfy race instead of quality. Cuomo your an ass, first kid that gets hurt with this new policy you will be removed you pos.

New York Scraps ALST Teacher Literacy Test Because Minorities Keep Failing

New York has decided to scrap their Teacher’s literacy test, the ALST, not because there’s anything wrong with the test (the courts have already said it’s not discriminatory), but because Black and Hispanic teachers keep flunking it on the first try.

You receive a score and you can't fail it because of that. Think of it as an SAT exam for college admission.

Now, I do eventually want to go to Grad school anyway but the fact that this exam could cover the math requirement is significant because of my low confidence when it comes to mathematics.

Just a bit of context, according to the FLDOE (Florida Department of Education) I would need a GRE Quantitative Reasoning (which is the GRE math exam) scaled score of 147 to cover that math.

I think I could do it.

UPDATE TO THIS DRAFT

So after I wrote up this draft (cause I was not going to delete this and write a new one)

It turns out that the information from the FLDOE is true. It is on both the FLDOE website and the one from the FTCE (Florida Teacher Certification Exam) Website.

This is HUGE information and it makes me wonder:.

Did they do this because teachers and prospective teachers are consistently failing the General Knowledge Exam?

Did they do this because it has become difficult to find times and locations to take the exam?

Will these questions get answered? Probably not.

But will I study the GRE Mathematics and take that exam?
