The provisions of the 1998 Amendments to Title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965 require East Stroudsburg University to provide the information to the public about students who complete our teacher education program.
The law stipulates we must provide information on those persons who completed our teacher certification program during the year immediately preceding.
The legally required assessment in Pennsylvania is the Praxis Test Series published by Educational Testing Service. Readers should keep in mind that the legally required assessment and the minimum score set for passing each test vary from state to state. For further information on Title II and state reports, visit www.title2.org.
