Unit Overview
- Description
The Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) is designed to assess initial teacher education students' personal literacy and numeracy skills and to ensure they are well equipped to meet the demands of teaching. Successful completion of LANTITE assists higher education providers, teacher employers and the general public to have increased confidence in the skills of graduating teachers. The test has been introduced to assess aspects of students' personal literacy and numeracy skills that can be measured through an online assessment tool. Initial teacher education students pay to sit the test. The test is available in set windows throughout each year. The test is computer-based and consists of a literacy test and a numeracy test, each of which is administered in a two-hour session. Support will be provided by the university to assist pre-service teachers in preparing for the test.
