K-12 Certification Travel Grants SO...YOU WANT TO TEACH ESL ...IN INDIANA ESL Certification in Indiana By Trish Morita-Mullaney, Lawrence Township Schools K-12 ESL Teacher's License Requirements Perhaps you are an ESL professional, anxious to become a part of a public school system and serve K-12 children who have ESL needs. Perhaps you have a Bachelors or Masters in TESOL or ESL experience from working overseas. If the answer to both of these statements is "yes" for you or a fellow ESL professional, this article will clarify what is required to earn the respected title of ESL teacher in a K-12 public school building. Presently, the only requirement expressed by Indiana State law is that a person wanting to serve ESL students in a K-12 public school setting must have a valid Indiana Teacher's license. This license may be in elementary or secondary education with areas of specialization. Even if those specialties are not related to the ESL field, it does qualify an individual to impart certified instruction to an ESL population. (515 IAC 1-1-20). The law states, "Persons are strongly encouraged to complete the (ESL) certification pattern. The word encouraged does not imply that you must meet these criteria. This rather vague statement often leads persons and universities to interpret such a statement to mean that a degree in TESOL will satisfy such course requirements. They may meet the requirements of the local university to be an ESL professional, but it does not commensurate with the state of Indiana's requirements to be a public school teacher.

E :: Improving Teacher Quality Partnership Program Overview The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Title II of the Act makes funds available to states and local communities under a variety of flexible programs that will assist them in developing and supporting a high-quality teaching force and thereby improving student academic achievement. One of these programs, Teacher and Principal Training and Recruitment Fund (Title II, Part A), focuses on using practices grounded in scientifically-based research to prepare, train, and recruit high quality teachers and principals and requires states to develop plans with annual measurable objectives that will ensure that all teachers teaching in core academic subjects are highly qualified by the end of the 2005-2006 school year. As part of the Teacher and Principal Training and Recruitment Fund, the Commission for Higher Education is responsible for conducting a competitive Improving Teacher Quality grants process. The Improving Teacher Quality partnership program will bring Indiana's colleges and universities together with high-need school districts to support the professional development needs of teachers, paraprofessionals and principals in core academic subjects.

29. Archived: Promising Practices: Raising Licensing And Certification Standards teachers who apply for National Board certification spend several months The indiana Association of Colleges for teacher Education, for example, http://www.ed.gov/pubs/PromPractice/chapter4.html

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Promising Practices: New Ways to Improve Teacher Quality - September 1998 Raising Licensing and Certification Standards In recent years, as many as 50,000 people have entered teaching on emergency or substandard licenses because they lacked full qualification. Thirty percent of the math teachers in high schools do not even have a college minor in math. The figures for science are not much better. If teacher preparation programs, policies for state licensure (initial approval) and certification (endorsement for full teaching or teaching in certain areas), as well as school district hiring and evaluation practices have set low expectations for teachers, it is primarily because no standards existed to guide them. That is no longer true. Three parallel developments are pushing the teaching profession toward high standards, enveloping the teaching career from beginning to end in rigorous attention to quality. One development concerns pre-service education. As the teacher preparation section described, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) requires institutions of higher learning seeking its seal of approval to ensure that their students know how to teach to the higher content standards being adopted by most states and that future teachers demonstrate their skills through performance assessments rather than through the traditional "seat time" accumulation of course credits. A second important way that standards are being raised is through initial licensure. Licensure is being transformed in at least 30 states into a true measure of a teacher's knowledge and skills. These states are members of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers. It is creating performance standards for the licensing of beginning teachers and is developing assessments that match the standards.

The goal of such programs is to draw a diversity of individuals with in-depth subject matter backgrounds into teaching careers. Requirements for an alternative teaching license vary by state. For an overseas position, it does not matter what state your license is from. Generally, applicants must hold a bachelors degree in the subject to be taught, achieve a passing score on state-required examinations, complete an intensive teacher preparation program, and possibly fulfill a supervised teaching internship. Specific information on which school systems are offering internships can be requested from the schools. After satisfactory completion of these requirements, the applicant will be issued a teaching credential.

Survey Findings The Policy Context for Teacher Professional Development Professional development financial data by itself is not as meaningful as analyzing it in the context of state policies, requirements, and practices. This section discusses that policy context. State Mandates and Mechanisms Outside of the North Central Region, a number of states reported that they require intermediate service agencies to develop plans for teacher professional development. These state are California, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, and Oregon. Ten states reported requiring local school districts to develop annual plans for teacher professional development (California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Texas). No such requirements exist in Nebraska, New Hampshire, and South Dakota. Missouri, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Texas also imposed such requirements on individual schools. Teacher Professional Development and Teacher Certification and Employment Within the North Central Region, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio all reported having requirements that certified teachers enroll in continuing education courses for continued certification. Only Illinois reported that it did not. Indiana and Michigan also reported that such an action was required for continued employment.

Resources for Teacher Certification The Impact of Alternative Certification in the Midwest Policy Issues No. 12 (November 2002) This edition of Policy Issues focuses on alternative teacher certification in the NCREL region (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin). A brief literature review is presented, and the results of an analysis of the latest Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) are discussed. Information on alternative certification programs in the seven states is reviewed, including the results of a survey of more than 1,000 principals in the region regarding their experiences with alternatively certified teachers. Alternative Certification: A Review of Theory and Research Alternative teacher certification is one approach to expanding the pool of applicants for teaching positions. This literature synthesis explores the theory and research supporting alternative certification. Alternative Certification Evaluation Template The Alternative Certification Evaluation Template allows teacher certification programs to perform self-evaluations in order to determine the extent to which they address key issues. It lists components of effective alternative certification programs and includes a scoring rubric allowing these programs to measure their progress. New or developing programs may wish to use the template as they shape their approaches to alternative certification. Extant programs could benefit from the self-evaluation by identifying issues that they have not sufficiently addressed.
