| The Teacher Preparation Program at Princeton University Posts 100% Pass Rate for Title II Report
In 1998, Congress passed Title II of the Higher Education Act which requires all colleges and universities with teacher preparation programs to develop and publish an annual report on their programs. Acting in accordance with this requirement, Princeton University is proud to issue its report for the academic year 2007-2008. The number of student teachers who completed the program and were eligible to receive New Jersey Certificates of Advanced Standing was eight. To be certified in the State of New Jersey, all candidates take the PRAXIS (Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers) exam in their area of specialization. During the 2007-2008 academic year, our student teachers took the following exams:
