The Educational Testing Service is currently engaged in a large-scale development project related to teacher licensure. This project will develop a new generation of assessments for licensing beginning teachers, based on two research projects. One is Project CHART, an effort to identify state requirements for licensure in all subject areas currently being taught in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. This project is also identifying recommended standards for teacher preparation established by professional organizations. The second project is a series of job analysis studies aimed at identifying what teacher candidates and new teachers should know and should be able to do. The results of Project CHART are compared with the results of the job analysis in one area, "General Principles of Teaching and Learning," an assessment that focuses on pedagogical principles that cross subject matter and grade boundaries. Results indicate considerable agreement among states, professional associations, and the members of the educational community. Areas of disagreement are explored, along with their implications for teacher preparation and the development of a knowledge base for teacher education. (Contains 5 tables and 15 references.) (SLD)
