This white paper from the Consortium for Research-Based Equitable Assessments (CREA) analyzes the impact of entrance and licensure examination score cutoffs on the diversity and strength of the teacher pipeline. Working within an anti-racist framework, this paper summarizes the history of the use and impact of teacher license entrance exams on teacher demographics, synthesizes research findings on setting cutoff scores on teacher licensure exams and the disparate impact on the pipeline of Black and Hispanic teachers, and depicts a landscape analysis of the teacher entrance licensure exam data, policies, and practices in the 15 states represented in CREA. The goal of the white paper is to assist teacher preparation programs and the general public in understanding the often-overlooked issues related to teacher preparation program entrance and licensure examinations; the paper also aims to develop recommendations and model state policies that will support state efforts to advance educational equity and recruit more diverse teacher candidates into the profession.
