The College of Education is gunning for an 80% pass rate in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). To hit that mark, its faculty drilled on building LET-style tests in a two-day seminar held September 11 to 12.
LET reviewer and Partido State University assistant professor Michael P. Vale, himself a former LET topnotcher, ran the workshop. His session “From Mentor to Examiner” mixed sharp lectures with hands-on drills on test construction, pushing faculty to frame classroom exams the way board examiners do.
College dean Dr. Maria Sheila R. Gregorio called the effort a “shared commitment to a greater purpose.” She said aligning classroom exams with the actual LET is key not just to passing, but to producing top scorers.
The workshop drew in both full-time and part-time faculty, signaling a collective push to tighten assessment practices and steer students closer to the college’s 80% goal.
