Paula Wood, dean of the College of Education , is quoted in a story about the state Board of Education's plans to issue annual "report cards" rating the performance of education schools. The schools would be graded on several factors, including passing rate on certification tests, percentage of accredited programs, student surveys, postgraduate performance of teachers, recruitment of minority faculty, and other criteria. Schools that do not measure up to standards would have two years to improve. Those that don't could lose eligibility for certain federal grants and could be barred from enrolling students receiving certain types of federal financial assistance. Wood pointed out that schools with mostly part-time minority teacher candidates may not score as high as some others under the proposed system, although they may have outstanding programs and teachers. She also indicated that allotting only 5 percent of a school's score to minority recruitment would seem to imply that that criteria "isn't that important" to the state.
