ETS Sponsors Test Program For Teachers Princeton, New Jersey. College seniors preparing to teach school m~y take the National Examinations on any of the four different test dates announced today 'by Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit, educational organization which prepares and administers this testing program. Results of the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts as one o~ several factors in the selection of new teachers and by several states for certification or licensing of teachers . .Some colleges also require all seniors preparing to teach to take the examinations. The school systems and state departments of education which use the examination results are designated in the Bulletin of Information for Candidates. On each full day of testing, prospective teachers may take the Common Examinations, which measure their professional preparation and general cultural background, and a Teaching Area Examination which measures mastery of the sub· ject they expect to teach. Prospective teachers should contact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken. The Bulletin of Information for Candidates contains a list of test centers, and information about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form. Copies may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel departments, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Box 911, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
