Home Issues in Education "No Child Left Behind"/ESEA Special Ed/IDEA ... Other Resources Certification Scheme Booted Out of California California's Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has slammed the door on the American Board for the Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE) program that purports to fully certify teacher candidates who manage to pass a set of tests. What was apparently intended as a quiet, low-key informational presentation to introduce a teacher "certification-by-testing" scheme backfired on ABCTE's Kathleen Madigan after more than 20 people spoke in opposition to the adoption of ABCTE's Passport to Teaching test as a route to state licensure. opposition from leading national education organizations including NEA ABCTE will not be recognized in California No further action will be taken by the CTC staff on this issue ABCTE will not be taken up again by the CTC ABCTE made a similar presentation to the Texas Senate Education Committee, but no action was taken as a result. However, Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA) leaders and its allies in opposing the ABCTE program will carefully monitor developments there. The State Board for Educator Certification has already allowed other testing-only routes to state licensure despite the objections of TSTA and other education organizations.

Who Should be Certified as a Teacher? In a different life, Charlie Kong worked on ways to up the performance of nuclear missiles. Now he is trying to raise the math scores of high school students in a middle-class neighborhood. If you ask him, being a teacher may be more stressful than his old job. "Being an engineer, I guess, was more relaxed than being a teacher," he says. "Being a teacher, you have to keep up with all the paperwork, and it wasn't that bad when I was an engineer. We had plenty of time to get projects done." Kong became a math teacher through an alternative certification program. Such programs allow people with different educational backgrounds to become teachers without having to go through a traditional teaching education. Under the traditional approach, aspiring teachers must complete an approved educational program before they can walk into a classroom. Alternative certification, on the other hand, allows aspiring teachers to learn on the job. They teach during the day, then take classes in their spare time to earn their teaching stripes. Entrance requirements vary, but generally include a bachelor's degree.

SEARCH Advanced Search See the California News section for more timely information. Teacher Quality Overview Preparation and credentialing Induction Professional development Compensation and evaluation Supply, demand, recruitment, and retention "The education system is only as good as its teachers" is a commonly shared point of view. Ultimately, rising expectations for school performance rest on the classroom teacher. At the heart of the success or failure of any attempts to change education is a teacher’s willingness and ability to implement appropriate strategies. Effective instructional strategies and methods can lead directly to improved student learning, and the effective teacher is skilled at creating, using, and evaluating these teaching methods. Doing this, however, requires the right preparation, professional development, and working conditions. Several interrelated factors affect teacher knowledge, ability, and performance—often referred to as teacher quality: Preparation and credentialing Traditional teacher preparation occurs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, depending on the state. Prospective teachers complete coursework in the subject area they plan to teach, as well as pedagogy, classroom management, psychology, child development, and other related topics.
