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.

"Testing . . . Testing"
these days is testing the testing of massachusetts students with the MCAStests and the testing of massachusetts teachers on a new certification exam.
http://interact.uoregon.edu/MediaLit/mlr/readings/articles/testing.html

Extractions: E-Mail: WillWalsh@aol The big story in the local media these days is testing "the testing" of Massachusetts students with the MCAS tests and the testing of Massachusetts teachers on a new certification exam. While lots of people have already offered their opinions about the quality of education in this state( or lack of it), few have opined about the quality or difficulty of the tests themselves. I mean, it's pretty clear that you can determine how easy or hard a test is going to be when you make up the questions. At least, I THOUGHT that was clear. Maybe not. To illustrate that (neglected) point, I humbly offer the Simple Test for Obviously Outrageous Predetermined Ignorant Dolts (STOOPID test): (Math) According to newspaper reports, it cost the state of Massachusetts 23 million dollars to administer the MCAS tests to 210,000 students across the state. What was the cost per student? (ANSWER: $110 per student). (Social Studies) Assume you are given a hundred ten dollars to spend on each student. What is the best way to spend the money? (a) purchase textbooks; (b) increase the salary of teachers; (c) construct smaller class sizes; (d) improve the quality of instruction; (e) disrupt classes for two weeks to give the students a test. (ANSWER: Obviously e).
ABE Teachers Certification For Massachusetts

http://www.sabes.org/resources/fieldnotes/vol10/f01cert.htm

Extractions: for Massachusetts by Carey Reid and Mary Jayne Fay Field Notes main page Summer 2000 issue T he statewide ABE Certification Committee has been working steadily since last spring to recommend a process to certify adult basic education teachers in the Commonwealth. The Committee has worked hard to make the process fair, inclusive, and meaningful, and to align this process with the state's Pre-K-12 certification system while preserving the unique characteristics of the adult basic education field. The Committee members represent particular constituencies unions, part-time and full- time teachers, and professional organizations but their work was also heavily influenced by the efforts of prior committees and work groups and by feedback gathered from the field through email and focus groups. Feedback from Practitioners In fact, feedback from practitioners has had a direct impact on staff members who have supported the work of the Advisory Committee and on the Committee's specific recommendations. As a result of feedback, for example, the Committee has recommended ways for veteran teachers to receive credit for their knowledge and experience. The Committee generated a first Interim Report to Commissioner David Driscoll on October 4, 1999. A second Interim Report was recently published and is now out for public comment. Readers who are not familiar with the Committee's earlier work and relevant publications can visit the

Extractions: What Did the Massachusetts Teacher Tests Say About American Education? By R. Clarke Fowler Will the mechanisms that policy makers are using to improve schools of education more certification tests, higher cut scores, and severe penalties for institutions that fail to meet specific pass rates actually deliver the increased accountability and better teachers that policy makers have promised? Mr. Fowler's experience in Massachusetts suggests that the answer is no. DURING the summer of 1998, magazines, newspapers, and the electronic media widely reported the results of the first administration of Massachusetts' new tests for aspiring teachers. The results were notable because 59% of those tested failed an exam that state officials described as a test of eighth- to 10th-grade skills. This story was also notable because of the remarkable series of events that accompanied the announcement of the test scores. The state board of education sparked outrage when it initially set the cut scores at one standard deviation below the levels recommended by its own panels of experts. It sparked controversy when it reversed this decision just one week later, in a vote preceded by the unexpected departure of Frank Haydu, then commissioner of education, who resigned with the comment that "the political forces have been unleashed." This story also made headlines because of the heated and highly quotable rhetoric that surrounded the affair. Thomas Finneran, the speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, declared: "I'll tell you who won't be a teacher. The idiots who took that test and flunked so miserably and, of course, the idiots who passed them."

Massachusetts "Bonus Babies" Are Leaving The Classroom
barrier to getting good teachers into the classroom is teacher certificationitself. massachusetts teachers Association. iii Whitenack, Aimee.
http://www.teachingquality.org/resources/html/MA_bonusbabies.htm

Extractions: Massachusetts "Bonus Babies" Are Leaving the Classroom Many claim that the real barrier to getting good teachers into the classroom is teacher certification itself. In his article No Shortcuts to Preparing Good Teachers , Dr. Barnett Berry, Executive Director of the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality, exposes this myth for the untruth that it really is. Since the production of this article, many examples have surfaced to support his arguments. A recent report by a Massachusetts professor is one of these. In his report, Clarke Fowler explores the failure of the Massachusetts Signing Bonus Program for New Teachers, an alternative certification program that has been generating a lot of press over the last year and a half, but has not shown the results that it set out to. The Massachusetts Signing Bonus Program was enacted by the Massachusetts legislature in 1998 with a $60 million endowment to raise the quality of teaching in the state. The program offered $20,000 in cash incentives to attract new teachers to the state and to teaching.

Although teaching in a public school typically requires certification, most states have adopted alternative routes to teacher certification. These programs provide an intensive teacher preparation program for liberal arts graduates with in-depth subject area knowledge. Many master's degree programs also lead to teacher certification. To address teacher shortage in areas around the U.S., several cities have adopted programs designed to recruit and provide intensive training to those who want to teach then place the individuals in schools - typically in an urban area.

http://www.massteacher.org/career/state_cert/career_hqpaths.cfm

Extractions: Search Teachers around Massachusetts are trying to figure out how they can meet the "highly qualified" requirements of the reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act, widely known as "No Child Left Behind." They can do so in several ways. The law requires that school districts employ only "highly qualified teachers" for core academic subjects by the 2005-2006 school year. The core academic subjects identified in the federal law are English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history and geography. In order to meet the federal governmentâs "highly qualified" definition, a teacher must hold a state teacher certification and must demonstrate subject matter competency. The state Department of Education has declared that any Massachusetts teacher certificate or license is sufficient. Thus, any teacher of a core academic subject who holds any Massachusetts teacher certificate or license, regardless of the stage (e.g., Preliminary License, Advanced Provisional Certificate or Professional License), satisfies the certification requirement to be "highly qualified."

http://www.uml.edu/Dept/Math/programs/teach_cert.htm

Extractions: Graduate Certificate in Mathematics for Teachers Overview Massachusetts is currently experiencing a crisis in mathematics education in its public schools. On the one hand there is a crippling shortage of mathematics teachers, a situation which is only expected to worsen as the current teachers approach retirement. On the other hand there is grave concern about the content knowledge of many practicing teachers as is indicated by the state's contentious proposal to test teachers for recertification. The program we are announcing here is targeted at both professionals who are interested in teaching, giving them the opportunity to learn what is required to become a math teacher, and current teachers who wish to deepen their content knowledge. With existing Professional Development requirements and possible teacher testing in the near future this certificate provides for further study without long-term commitment. Note that this program does not satisfy all the requirements for Teacher Certification, but does satisfy some of those requirements and can be considered part of the certification process. Potential Audience Current teachers looking to improve their content knowledge and their performance in the classroom could benefit from this certificate. Professionals who do not currently teach can use the program both to get some appreciation for teaching as a career and as a step towards certification. The Department of Mathematical Sciences currently offers a Masters Degree for Teachers which goes some way towards meeting these needs - the certificate will integrate smoothly with this degree but has the added attraction of not requiring a large initial commitment. It is hoped however that some certificate candidates will elect to stay and complete the masters degree.
