Abstract	The Educational Testing Service is preparing to introduce a new generation of teacher assessments, the Praxis Series of professional assessments for beginning teachers. Preparatory to test development, a job analysis was conducted to define a knowledge and ability domain important for newly certified Spanish teachers to perform their jobs in a competent manner. An initial draft of knowledge and ability statements was constructed by Educational Testing Service test development staff with subject-matter expertise. The draft domain, which consisted of eight major content areas, was then reviewed by 10 experts in an external review panel, and an advisory test development committee of five teachers, three teacher educators, and two administrators. A modified version consisting of seven major content areas and 166 knowledge and ability statements was then reviewed through a national survey of several hundred Spanish teachers and educators. The 145 knowledge and ability statements that were verified as important by the surveyed educators should be used as the foundation for the development of test specifications. Eight tables present study results. Seven appendixes include supplemental information such as the job analysis survey, respondent demographics, and mean importance ratings of teachers, state administrators, and teacher educators. (Contains nine references.) (SLD)
