HB 1476 -- Teacher Testing

Sponsor:  Cunningham (86)

This bill requires certificated teachers to document their scores
on certain assessments every five years.  In the fifth year after
initial certification and every fifth year thereafter, teachers
must submit proof to the Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education that they have retaken the appropriate exit assessment
required for certification and achieved a passing score, taken
the applicable academic assessments of the Missouri Assessment
Program and scored at the advanced level, or completed any course
or examination determined by rule of the State Board of Education
for the purpose of teacher testing.  An appeal process for
teachers who do not achieve the required scores is specified in
the bill.
