WASHINGTON — Albert
Shanker, president of the American
Federation of Teachers, called Tues
day for creation of a tough new na
tional examination that all new tea
chers would have to pass, just as
doctors and lawyers must pass licens
ing tests.
Shanker, in an address at the Na
tional Press Club, said his 600,000-
member union would eventually ban
new teachers from membership un
less they passed such an exam.
Shanker said most current teacher
licensing exams “would be consid
ered a joke by any other profession”
because they usually are minimum
competency tests that seek to bar
only the worst candidates from en
tering the profession. In Florida, he
said, prospective math teachers are
tested at the sixth-grade math level.
“This would be the equivalent of
licensing doctors on the basis of an
exam in elementary biology,” or test
ing accountants on their knowledge
of elementary math, he said.
Shanker said he would ask educa
tion leaders, college presidents and
leaders of other professions to join
him within six months to create a na
tional board, possibly called the
American Board of Professional Ed
ucators, to decide what teachers
need to know and how it can be mea
sured.
Shanker has been a strong sup
porter of requiring entry-level teacn-
ers to pass exams on their general
competence and knowledge of the
subject they aspire to teach.
Mary Hatwood Futrell, president
of the 1.7 million-member National
Education Association, said in a
statement: “NEA believes that it is
the basic right of the states to deter
mine who’s qualified to teach. Suc
cessful classroom performance
should be determined by a number
of criteria. The score of a test might
be one aspect of a comprehensive
state teacher evaluation program.”
The NEA in recent years has soft
ened its once strident opposition to
all standardized tests, but it still
maintains tests alone should not de
termine whether a person is hired to
teach. NEA
Howard Carroll, a spokesman for
NEA, said the union favors stricter
standards for both admission to and
graduation from teacher training
programs and better internships.

Shanker said the federal govern

with running the test or the new tea

business of licensing doctors, lawyers

prospective teachers’ knowledge on
the subjects they will teach, and also
their knowledge of how to teach and

Prosecutor wants death for captain
involved in Solidarity priest’s murder
Associated Press
TORUN, Poland — A govern
ment prosecutor demanded the
death penalty Tuesday for a secret
police captain he said was guilty of
carrying out the premeditated kid
napping and murder of a pro-Soli-
darity priest.”
Chief Prosecutor Leszek
Pietrasinski, in closing arguments
for the state, said Capt. Grzegorz Pi-
otrowski’s two subordinates were
manipulated into taking part in the
slaying of the Rev. Jerzy Popie-
luszko. He said the two lieutenants
should be sentenced to 25 years in
prison, but that their lives be spared.
Execution in Poland is by hang
ing.
The prosecutor accused the
fourth officer charged in the killing,
Col. Adam Pietruszka, of conceiving
and planning the attack and asked
the court’s five judges to sentence
him to a 25-year prison term.
Piotrowski appeared stunned as
the prosecutor spoke. He supported
his head in his hands, then threw his
body into his chair, leaned back and
stared ahead. Tears streamed down
the face of his subordinate, Lt. Les
zek Pekala, and Lt. Waldemar
Chmielewski buried his head in his
lap. Pietruszka listened impassively.
The prosecution’s final argu
ments came on the 22nd day of the
trial in this northern Polish city near
where Popieluszko was abducted
and slain Oct. 19. The decision by a
Communist government to conduct
a public trial of security police in the
death of a dissident was also unprec
edented.
Pietrasinski said the testimony in
the trial had shown the killing was an
isolated act that damaged the repu
tation of the Interior Ministry and
did not have high-level ministry sup
port. The ministry controls all Polish
police.
But he told the court the trial had
neither “confirmed nor excluded
the existence of instigators.”
“Perhaps we are talking here
about specific persons, but one thing
is certain, the higher-ups are not in
the Interior Ministry,” Pietrasinski
said.
He said the possible instigators
perhaps are people either inside or
outside the Polish government who
oppose the policies of Polish leader
Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski.
Pietrasinski’s remarks seemed to
indicate no other officials would be
charged, but left open the possibility
of changes in the government or
Communist Party leadership.
Authorities issued 10 passes to
Western correspondents to ad
the trial but denied access tolheij
