OKLAHOMA COMMISSION
FOR TEACHER PREPARATION
Certification Examination for Oklahoma Educators (CEOE)
In 1995, House Bill 1549 gave the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation
(OCTP) the responsibility of developing a competency-based, assessment system for
teacher candidates that tests knowledge in three areas: general education, professional
education, and subject area knowledge. OCTP, in conjunction with National Evaluation
Systems, developed a competency-based assessment system consisting of one exam with
three parts. This test reflects standards and competencies developed and adopted by a
variety of state and national groups, organizations, and policy directives. Throughout the
development and validation process for all three components of the assessment program,
over 5000 Oklahoma educators contributed their knowledge and expertise.
The Certification Examinations for Oklahoma Educators are reviewed annually and
undergo redevelopment as changes occur in national and/or state standards. OCTP is
committed to ensuring that the tests are rigorous and fulfill their purpose - to ensure that
individuals seeking an initial Oklahoma teaching license possess the subject matter
knowledge and skills needed to teach effectively in Oklahoma public schools.
HB 1549 requires OCTP to annually prepare a statistical report showing the percentage
of teacher candidates from Oklahoma institutions of higher education who have
successfully completed or who have failed the competency examination for licensure and
certification. For the 2003 - 2004 test period, twenty-two teacher education institutions
had examinees participating in the assessment program. Pass rates for each of the three
component areas of the CEOE program were calculated by institution, and are presented
in the following tables.
