6 PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATIONS 68th Annual Summer Conference, California State University Channel Islands, Camarillo, California August 05-09, 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration (NCPEA) TOPIC: A Multi Year Enhancement Plan for State Testing Scores at a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in Texas African American students state-mandated test scores on the Texas Examination of Essential Skills (TExES) principal certification examinations have tended to lag behind their white counterparts. Although many Texas regional ESCs (Educational Service Centers) and participating post-secondary institutions offer programs that prepare future campus leaders for the principal exam, a high percentage of African American students do not successfully pass the exam Summer Conference, College Station, Texas June 26-27, 2014 John Holt Leadership: Education and Development TOPIC: Process for Increasing Candidate Passage Rates on the TExES Principal Examination Direct correlations exist on the instruction and curriculum of an educator preparation program and the passing rates on certification exams of the students enrolled in that program. Currently, shortcomings exist in the current passing rates of African American educator education students on the TExES (state educator certification) exam. Failure to properly address this issue, can lead to specific sanctions, up to and including a College of Education being placed on a probationary status. As such, this presentation will identify steps and processes that may be incorporated to increase students success on the TExES exam. Arthur L. Petterway, Ph.D. VITAE Page 6

7 29th Annual Conference, Garland, Texas February 06-09, 2014 Texas Alliance of Black School Educators (TABSE) TOPIC: A Mixed Method Analysis of the Impact of High Stakes Testing on English Language Learners in Major Urban High Schools in Texas One aspect that should be considered for this failure to reach grade level requirements is that language may be viewed as a factor of identity. It is possible that minority groups are insistent on retaining their ethnic language, as their first, and hold English proficiency more as an elective instead of an indispensable learning tool, which might render life in the adopted society only as slightly more convenient. If this is the case, schools are being held accountable for the consequences of a socio-cultural phenomenon that is beyond their limited powers to address. State Conference, Austin, Texas. October 20-22, 2013 Consortium Organizations for Texas Teacher Education (CSOTTE) TOPIC: Increasing Certification Passage Rates at a HBCU Realizing that education and most of life works exactly the same way we succeed and sometimes we fall short. Students who performed poorly on certification tests needed to be encouraged and to understand that practice does not necessarily make the skill better. Faculty had to make the success of our students a personal challenge and understand that our educator preparation programs had to believe that our students can perform better and begin to help our students believe and know, what works. For example, the hammer is an excellent tool, but it does a very poor job of driving screws; and, when examined for precision, it is lacking. A deliberate attempt was made to place the responsibility for this Warning on the shoulders of those involved in the preparation process administrators, faculty and students. Arthur L.

8 31 st Annual Meeting, LA. February 6-9, 2008 Southwest Educational Research Association (SERA) TOPIC: Impact of High Stakes Testing on ELLs in Major Urban High Schools in Texas There is concern over the classification and measurement of English Language Learners (ELLs). My study was designed to determine the impact of high-stakes testing on ELLs, and to explore what ELL stakeholders viewed as the impact that high stakes standardized assessments had on ELLs, ESL curriculum, and instruction in ESL classrooms. 20 th Annual Staff Development Conference, Orlando, FL. Leading Change to Make Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships a Reality Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) July 12-15, 2006 TOPIC: Analyzing Data, Changing the Practice, Changing the Culture Analyzed data will help decide the type of bell schedule that is best for the students. Additionally, it will determine whether additional core classes will be needed. Finally, analyzed data will determine the necessity of credit recovery classes. Arthur L.
