TExES Qualifier: 101 Generalist EC-4 |
THE TExES QUALIFIER IS NOT THE TExES CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION.
The Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES) is the certification examination program. In the fall of 2002, the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) implemented a new teacher certification examination program that will, over the next few years, supplant the Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas (ExCET), which has been the state`s teacher certification exam since 1986.
TExES Qualifier tests are criterion-referenced examinations designed to measure a candidate`s knowledge in relation to an established criterion rather than to the performance of other candidates. All of the tests in the TExES programs contain multiple-choice questions.
In an effort to provide greater access to testing, some TExES Qualifier tests are also available via computer-based.
