Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Washington DC. ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers must have special preparation to teach English to non-native speakers; being a fluent speaker or an effective teacher of English to native speakers is not enough. Just as teaching mathematics or French requires special knowledge and skills, teaching English as a Second Language does also. This Digest outlines some of the relevant issues concerning ESL teacher certification: profiles of students needing ESL instruction, reasons for considering certification, academic preparation needed to teach ESL, and a description of state requirements for certification. WHO NEEDS AN ESL TEACHER? Estimates based on the 1980 Census indicate that in 1980-81 at least three-and-a-half million school-age children in the United States lacked the English language skills needed to succeed in school. These children, whose native language is not English, generally fall into two groups. The first, limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, speak, understand, and may read and write English, but not well enough to keep up academically with their native English-speaking peers. The second group, non-English-speaking (NES) students, do not speak or understand English and may have no literacy skills in their native language. This factor complicates attempts to teach them English.

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.

How To Build A Better Teacher - Policy Review, No. 106 While at the University of tennessee, he developed a sophisticated The privatelyoperated nbpts confers national certification on teachers who submit http://www.policyreview.org/apr01/holland.html
Extractions: By Robert Holland (Go to Print Friendly Version) merican schools need more teachers. American schools need better teachers. Practically everyone with a stake in the education debate agrees with those two premises. However, there is sharp disagreement as to whether more regulation or less is the way to go. That flies in the face of a widespread conviction in the education world that poverty is such a powerful depressant on learning that even the greatest teachers may only partially overcome its effects. As Diane Ravitch documents in her recent book Left Back New York Times Teacher certification: A primer In the early 1990s, Rita Kramer took a nationwide tour of leading schools of education, from Teachers College at Columbia to the University of Washington, and reported in Ed School Follies City Journal NCTAF called for, among other things: The union interest A Nation at Risk New Republic Another approach Washington Post There are a few small-scale programs designed to deepen the pool of teaching talent by going outside the certification routine. One is Teach for America, which places liberal arts graduates in high-need urban and rural districts. Another is Troops to Teachers, which assists retiring military personnel in becoming teachers. In both instances, the newly minted teachers obtain provisional certification and then work toward obtaining enough professional education credits to gain full certification.
