(The Center Square) – The first-time pass rates of Illinois elementary teacher licensure tests have been under wraps for more than two decades until now.
The National Council on Teacher Quality released the data Wednesday after a two-year study.
Illinois teachers struggled most with the Language and Literacy test, ranging from 51% passed to 94% depending on the institution.
“When you look within a state, we actually found on average a 56 percentage point gap between the lowest and highest performing institutions in the state on the first-time pass rate,” said Hannah Putnam, managing director of research for NCTQ.
