- Abstract
Students seeking admission to teacher education programs in Texas must now pass standardized tests of reading, English, and math (the PPST, published by ETS), The University of Texas at El Paso has developed a program to screen students prior to their taking the PPST, to advise them about their level of basic skills, and to provide appropriate academic advising prior to their gaining admission to teacher education. Initial results of the program indicate that students' success on the PPST has been significantly improved. The screening tests are also used in many other institutions in Texas.
