Extractions: Buyers and Sellers of Education Research Introduction The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) was established in 1987. Funded principally by the Carnegie Foundation, major teacher unions, and the U. S. Department of Education, its mission is to set advanced proficiency standards for teachers and to certify teachers who meet those standards. Teachers pay $2,300 to be evaluated by the NBPTS. They prepare a lengthy portfolio, make videotapes of themselves, and take an all-day written exam. Only fully licensed and experienced teachers may apply. States and school districts have offered powerful incentives, such as salary increases in the $5,000 to $7,500 per year range for successful applicants. As of January 2002, the NBPTS has certified 16,037 teachers in 19 areas of teaching. Over 20,000 more have applied. The NBPTS says certified teachers are "highly accomplished," and it anticipates that only 10% of all teachers will eventually be so designated. NBPTS standards are closely linked to the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education's (NCATE) teacher training standards and the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium's (INTASC) teacher licensure standards. All are based on research, teacher opinion, and expert judgment; however, all reflect the same ideas about teaching that have dominated education for decades.

Extractions: Creative Marketing Solutions By Catch Light Productions On Friday, April 2nd, the State Board for Educator Certification unanimously approved a new plan that allows college graduates to teach in their field of expertise by simply taking two tests, a TExES content exam and a TExES PPR exam. They no longer have to take the many education courses that were previously required. By passing these exams, they demonstrate that they are: an expert in their field (math, biology, chemistry, English, etc.), and, knowledgeable about how students learn, and, therefore, how teachers should teach. This ruling only applies to teachers of 8 through 12 grades. Most college graduates can pass their content area TExES exams because they know their subject matter. The second exam, however, requires special knowledge about teaching, or

Teaching areas encompass birth through kindergarten, elementary (K-6), middle grades (6-9), secondary grades (9-12), special subjects (K-12), exceptional children (K-12), and vocational education.

Extractions: Introduction In May, 2002, J.E. Stone, Ed.D, of the College of Education at East Tennessee State University, produced a seven-page paper entitled, "The Value-Added Achievement Gains of NBPTS-Certified Teachers in Tennessee: A Brief Report." The Education Commission of the States asked four scholars to review the study. This synthesis summarizes the comments of Dominic Brewer, Susan Fuhrman, Robert Linn and Ana Maria Villegas. Research Problem The reviewers agree that the problem Stone addresses, the relationship between student achievement Subjects and Sample The study sample consists of 16 of the 40 teachers in Tennessee who have received NBPTS certification; it is not clear how the 16 teachers were selected. Reviewers presume that the other 24 teachers are not in grades 3-8, where students are tested annually under the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System. Stone's failure to explain how the 16 teachers were selected from the total "n" of 40 is just one example of the absence of any descriptive data about the subjects. Reviewers would have liked the following information about the sample teachers:
