New York State Teacher Certification Examinations
Although there are many measures of performance within the School of Education, we are particularly proud of how well our teacher candidates perform on the New York State teacher certification exams.
Educating All Students (EAS):
| Cohort | Number of tests administered | Cohort Average | Percentage Passed | New York State Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-2018 | 116 | 540.0 | 100.0% | 525.3 |
| 2018-2019 | 128 | 539.6 | 100.0% | 526.1 |
| 2019-2020 | 92 | 540.2 | 98.9% |
526.6 |
| 2020-2021 | 175 |
541.8 |
100.0% | 530.2 |
Scores on the EAS range from 400 - 600 with a minimum passing score of 520 (500 Safety). Data Source: Pearson's Education Reports. Based on current data, SUNY Geneseo's candidates perform better than the state average over all four program years.
Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA)
The New York State Board of Regents voted to modify the teacher performance assessment requirement for certification by eliminating the edTPA requirement for certification and, instead, requiring that New York State-registered teacher preparation programs integrate a teacher performance assessment into the candidates’ student teaching, practicum, or similar clinical experience (e.g., residency, mentored in-service component).
The edTPA is no longer a certification requirement as of April 27, 2022. New York State registered teacher preparation programs are required to integrate a teacher performance assessment into the student teaching, practicum, or similar clinical experience (e.g., residency, mentored in-service component) by September 1, 2023. Programs have the flexibility to develop or choose a teacher performance assessment that meets their local interests and needs. This assessment would be designed to promote the professional growth of candidates who are seeking their first Initial teaching certificate. The Geneseo Teacher Performance Assessment is being finalized in Summer 2023 and will be implemented by student teaching supervisors in Fall 2023.
