Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education Washington DC. Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 11. Teacher certification is the education system's process for assuring that public school teachers possess minimum qualifications. Each state determines its own certification standards. Increased mobility among teachers suggests that teacher candidates should have information about general requirements for certification and about where to locate particular state requirements. This digest provides information on certification purpose and types, how to obtain information about requirements, and prospects for change in requirements. THE PURPOSE OF CERTIFICATION Certification is a process by which the state evaluates the credentials of prospective teachers to ensure that they meet the professional standards set by the state education agency. Certification ratifies the quality of teachers' competence in subject area, educational methodology, teaching skills, and potential classroom management ability (Roth and Mastain 1984). Closely linked to certification is state program approval or institutional approval, which is the state's process of evaluating schools, colleges, and departments of education. The purpose of such approval is to ensure a common curriculum framework and professional standards so that the state's teacher education programs produce graduates who meet the state's certification requirements.
Assessment For National Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest All but Alaska and iowa are in the process of, or have already implemented WHAT EFFECT MIGHT NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND certification HAVE ON TEACHERS? http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-9214/national.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education Washington DC. Assessment for National Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 7-88. The concept of teacher testing has gained wide acceptance, as reflected in its extension to 48 states. All but Alaska and Iowa are in the process of, or have already implemented some form of mandatory teacher testing, as of April 1987 (Rudner, 1987). The limitations of state procedures, i.e., different standards, approaches and requirements (McCaleb, 1987), combined with significant improvement in evaluation techniques have led to the call for a system of national assessment. The Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy, convened for the purpose of improving education and teaching, responded to the need for national criteria by launching the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards in 1987. Changes initiated by the Board are expected to transform teaching (albeit gradually) from an undervalued, underpaid profession to one enjoying higher standards, better salaries, and prestige. Teacher education, in the process, would be enhanced as pedagogical institutions consider, and respond to the requirements of a national criterion. WHAT WILL NATIONAL CERTIFICATION MEAN?

Issuing a cry to replace the Ed.D. degree with a new master's degree in educational administration, the report says current Ed.D. programs' quality ranges from "inadequate to appalling." The study criticizes educational leadership programs for being "engaged in a counterproductive 'race to the bottom,' in which they compete for students by lowering admission standards, watering down coursework and offering faster and less demanding degrees."

Extractions: The Survey of Teacher Certification and State-Based Standards and Assessments for Teachers and Students is a collaborative effort of: American Historical Association Organization of American Historians s A central goal of this project was to develop a snapshot of precollegiate history education in the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Hired by the Organization of American Historians as the lead researcher for this OAH/AHA project, Sarah Drake Brown requested information in the following categories: certification requirements for history teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels standards in history for teachers standards in history for the K-12 curriculum high school graduation requirements and exit examination requirements in history state criterion-referenced examinations in history statewide resources for history teachers and contact information for state history/social studies specialists statewide associations for teacher membership This proved to be a massive amount of data, so the information was collected in separate steps: independent searches for data, preliminary public presentations of initial findings, and early contact with numerous representatives in history education from each of the states and the District of Columbia. Preliminary data was then collected from the web sites created and maintained by the various departments of education and certifying bodies in each of the states. This information was then compiled into reports for each state, organized into sections based on the categories listed above.

Holly Zanville, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and Andrew Duncan, Director, the Southwestern Oregon University Center conducted the study. The study's key purposes were to: Identify states (teacher licensing boards, state departments of education) that have a requirement of cultural competence for licensure of K-12 teachers (and other educators). Obtain a copy of definitions of cultural competence used in any of the states.
