Read your article. Interesting perspective. I too thought the MTTC test was too easy, back in 2002. GRE is a good replacement, though I have no idea at what percentile ranking a person would have to fall in order to become certified.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with your point that MI should get rid of testing altogether. Allowing admins to hire whomever they will on their own criteria would create a sloppy patchwork of employment standards (not that it isn't sloppy already. Attracting career-switchers by reducing bureaucracy is a good thing, but eliminating any form of testing is too slippery a slope.
