of Terrible TECAT Test
—By Jennifer Fox
Last week on Monday. March 10.
all Texas teachers took the much-
publicized “TECAT” test. We deci-
ded to ask our own teachers their
feelings about the test.
OEA members Jonnie Heatly and
Nicole Holley will be going to the
State OEA Convention Thursday in
Ft. Worth. . . _____________ ___________j

irate on because they were boring.
1 really feel that the TECAT was
unconstitutional; retroactive laws
are unfair. If Texas were so
concerned about competency of its
teachers, why wasn’t this instituted
years ago? The test wasn’t fair.
Some people test well and others
don’t. Some teachers teach well
and others don’t. This test had
nothing to do with teacher compe-
tency; it tested literacy. A school
district should be able to identify an
illiterate teacher on an individual
basis, not a state-wide test.
MRS. YARBROUGH — Portions
of the test were so obvious that I
was afraid I was being tricked;
however, some of the reading
samples were difficult to concen-

MRS. BLACK - I don’t think that the
state can “fairly” ask a teacher
with years of experience and a life
certificate to put his or her job on
the line with ONE test. Hopefully,
the state will come up with a better
way of establishing competency. 1
think the colleges have done a
pretty good job already. They issue
degrees; and too — local school
boards and administrators are now
really monitoring teacher perfor-
mance. I think certain portions of
the test will effect minorities. There
are many good teachers who have
difficulty with the subtleties of the
English language. Some of the
reading portions will cause prob-
lems.
COACH ARNOLD — The most
difficult part of the test was the
pressure. The content was not
exceptionally difficult if you had the
study material and could concen-
trate on it. I don’t know if the test
will be overruled, but I don’t
believe it is fair to teachers who
have been in the profession for a
long period of time. It is also more
difficult for secondary teachers,
because they deal with only one
subject-matter year-round.
