Because Hanson, who was born in the Congo and raised in Belgium, is an alumna of Maryland's Resident Teacher Certification program, a press conference launching the Maryland Alternative Route to Certification Options, of which UMUC is a partner, was held in her homeroom. Said the school's principal Cheryl Logan of Hanson: "To watch [her] teach is like watching the finest prima ballerina or listening to the most gifted virtuoso. . . . She is proof positive that alternative recruiting methods work, given the proper supports and a rigorous standard for recruitment." Teacher Reform in Md. Team Assignment for K-12 and Higher Ed

Teachers Not Fully Certified '02 Hiring Runs Counter to U.S. Law's Goal of Full Credentials at Low-Performing Schools Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, August 28, 2002; Page B05 Teachers without full certification were hired in increasing numbers by Maryland's 24 public school districts this year a trend running counter to a new federal law that will require teachers in poor, low-performing schools to hold permanent certification. Nearly 10 percent, or 5,351, of the state's 55,021 new teachers have provisional certificates, which means that they may have a college degree but have not passed the necessary state exams or still need to finish course work, according to a report released yesterday by the Maryland State Department of Education.

Student and School Services Divisions Divisions Certification and Accreditation Overview The Division of Certification and Accreditation was created in 1970. This division certifies teachers and other professional personnel; oversees the preparation and assessment of candidates for principalship; and approves the educational programs of nonpublic schools. Under the division are three branches: Certification, Nonpublic School Approval, and Program Approval and Assessment. Certification Branch The Certification Branch was formed in 1981. The branch certifies teachers, specialists and administrators employed in public and private schools, other state institutions and the general public. Nonpublic Schools Approval Branch The Nonpublic Schools Approval Branch began operation in 1948 as the Nonpublic Schools Accreditation Branch. It received its current name in 1994. The branch approves the educational programs of nonpublic nursery schools, kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, secondary schools, schools for the disabled, and entities licensed by other state agencies, such as the Department of Juvenile Justice. The branch also registers church-operated nonpublic schools and other nonpublic entities who are not approved or supervised by the State Board of Education or a local board of education. The branch also publishes the annual Directory of Approved Nonpublic Schools in Maryland. Program Approval and Assessment Branch The Program Approval and Assessment Branch began in 1981 as a part of the Teacher Education and Certification Branch and reorganized under its present name in 1994. The Program Approval and Assessment Branch evaluates and approves programs to educate teachers and prepare other professionally-certified personnel. The branch also coordinates certification assessment of teacher and principal candidates.

27. Teacher Certification Isn't Working It argues that maryland s teacher certification requirements should be loosenedor eliminated because there is no credible evidence that they ensure quality http://www.education-consumers.com/articles/teacher_certification.asp

Recommend This Page to a Friend For more information, contact: John Stone: 423-282-6832 professor@education-consumers.com Statement of the Education Consumers Consultants Network Regarding the Abell Foundation's Recent Report: "Teacher Certification Reconsidered: Stumbling for Quality." Teacher Certification Isn't Working October 18, 2001 - The Abell Foundation just released "Teacher Certification Reconsidered: Stumbling for Quality." It argues that Maryland's teacher certification requirements should be loosened or eliminated because there is no credible evidence that they ensure quality. We agree. There is simply no good evidence that teacher certification produces demonstrable gains in student achievement. In fact, much of the research is embarrassingly deficient. A February 2001 report by the University of Washington Center for the Study of Teaching and Policy agrees: "There is no research that directly assesses what teachers learn in their pedagogical preparation and then evaluates the relationship of that pedagogical knowledge to student learning or teacher behavior." Taking the opposite view is the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) led by Professor Linda Darling-Hammond. The Commission has been urging the states to adopt expanded certification requirements. Professor Darling-Hammond called the Abell Foundation's report a "stunning exercise in misrepresentation."

28. Teacher Certification These teacher certification programs have been approved by the maryland StateDepartment of Education using recognized state and national standards and http://www.loyola.edu/education/certification.html

Teacher Certification Certification in Elementary Education Certification in Secondary Education Program Description Students may seek certification in either elementary education (grades 1-8) or secondary education (grades 7-12). In addition to graduate coursework, undergraduate content coursework may be necessary. A transcript analysis is done by an adviser after admission to determine additional requirements. A personalized and strong advising system allows students continuous access to consultation at all stages of their program. Coursework in specific content areas and methods differs according to the area of certification. An internship consisting of field experience and student teaching concludes the certification coursework. Internships are completed in a professional development school and include performance based portfolio assessment. Loyola College collaborates with various elementary, middle, and high schools to provide the intern with an intensive two-phase experience. Over the course of one year, elementary certification interns complete two experiences, one in grades 1-3 and the other in grades 4-8. Secondary certification interns complete two experiences, one in grades 6-8 and the other in grades 9-12. Courses may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. Internship II is a full-time, semester-long experience, where academic theory is translated into practice.
