In 1964, North Carolina became the first state to enact a testing program for initial certification of teachers. Today, almost all states and the District of Columbia are actively planning or implementing teacher testing programs; six are administering tests in the specific area of learning disabilities. The objectives and content areas of knowledge included in competency testing programs within this specialized area of teacher competence were analyzed, and comparisons were completed across knowledge areas and among states. In general, much similarity exists in what teachers of students with learning disabilities in different states are expected to know. This information represents a strong foundation for planning, implementing, and evaluating training programs for all teachers.
1964年，北卡罗来纳州成为首个实施教师初始认证测试项目的州。如今，几乎所有州及哥伦比亚特区都在积极规划或推行教师测试项目；其中六个州正在对学习障碍这一特定领域进行测试。对该教师能力专门领域内能力测试项目所包含的知识目标和内容领域进行了分析，并在各知识领域及各州之间完成了比较。总体而言，不同州的学习障碍学生教师应掌握的知识有很多相似之处。这些信息为所有教师培训项目的规划、实施和评估奠定了坚实基础。
