Bryant criticizes universities on teacher standard
Gov. Phil Bryant is criticizing members of the state College Board for their opposition to increasing requirements for teaching candidates.
Bryant, in an unusual appearance at the board’s Thursday meeting, accused the board and the state’s public universities of trying to keep standards low.
The governor wants to require college students who want to enter teacher preparation programs to score 21 or higher on the ACT college test and to have a 3.0 GPA on pre-major coursework.
