Troop To Teachers A referral assistance and placement service for military personnel interested in beginning a second career in public education as a teacher. The program helps applicants identify teacher certification requirements, programs leading to certification and employment opportunities. Background: President Bush signed legislation authorizing the continuation of Troops to Teachers into law on 8 January 2002. Congress also appropriated $18 million to provide financial assistance to help eligible individuals pay for teacher certification programs or to accept employment as a teacher in a "high needs" school. One of the most significant changes to the eligibility criteria is extending Financial Assistance to members of the National Guard or Reserve with at least 10 years of service who agree to an additional three years of reserve service. Other eligibility categories for financial assistance are outlined below. Referral and Placement Assistance services are extended to those who may not meet eligibility for financial assistance but are members of the Reserve service on or after 8 January 2002. These services include a network of state placement assistance offices that provide information regarding certification requirements, programs leading to certification, and assistance in identifying teaching positions. An Internet Teacher Job Referral service has been established that allows school district administrators to post job vacancies and search the Troops to Teachers database for potential teacher candidates. Anyone may use this site to search for job vacancies. Individuals registered with Troops to Teachers may post a mini-resume to highlight their background and experiences.

That's what he recently called the prospective teachers who recently failed the Massachusetts Teacher Exam. He also criticized the colleges granting them degrees. There have been several instances in the news lately that have not put teachers in the brightest of lights. (Matter of fact, it makes us look more like "dim bulbs.") :o( In case you missed it in the news, more than half of 2,000 would-be teachers in Massachusetts flunked a literacy test rated at about the EIGHTH-grade level! But it wasn't just the number of failures as much as how they failed. They misspelled words that 9-year-olds should have known, were unable to differentiate between nouns and verbs, and failed to define words such as "imminent." Sheesh! Most of the blame is being leveled at teachers colleges, which often fail to attract the brightest students, and don't always assure that their students master the basics of the subjects they are going to teach.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER CERTIFICATION AT PRESENT Typically, beginning foreign language (FL) teachers in the United States must complete an "approved program" of teacher education in a four-year college or university, have a certain minimum grade point average, and complete a specified number of credit hours in the foreign language to be certified. To receive "approved program" status, institutions must demonstrate to their state department of education that they are fulfilling state standards. Most states model their standards after two statements developed by the FL teaching profession in the 1950s and '60s titled, QUALIFICATIONS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES and GUIDELINES FOR TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES (Paquette 1966). The QUALIFICATIONS are brief descriptions of "minimal," "good," and "superior" competence in listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, applied linguistics, culture and civilization, and pedagogy. The GUIDELINES describe model programs, using the QUALIFICATIONS as minimum objectives (Wing 1984).

71. Teachless are shortcircuiting the usual route to teacher certification with their own teacher education programs in massachusetts suffered a harsh blow to http://science.smsu.edu/smt/3/ltmt.htm

MS U Colle ge ... s Less Training, More Teachers: New Math for Staffing Classes In the New York TimesAugust 24, 2000 By KATE ZERNIKE BOSTON, Aug. 19 A growing number of states and school districts are short-circuiting the usual route to teacher certification with their own crash courses that put new teachers in the classroom after as little as three weeks . Officials say they are driven by a severe teacher shortage, the demands of higher standards and, increasingly, concerns that traditional teacher education programs are failing and deterring talented candidates from entering the profession. The new programs run counter to the years of course work and practice under which teachers have long been trained. In essence, they adopt the model created by Teach for America, a non profit organization that a decade ago bucked the education establishment by putting fresh graduates of the nation's top colleges into classrooms after brief summer training. And they have run into the same criticism among educators who say the programs gamble with the future of the poorest and most vulnerable students by giving them teachers who lack the necessary training. The new programs are forcing a struggle over fundamental questions about what makes a good teacher, and how much of that can be taught.

Chair. John Silber. It wasn’t just the number of failures as much as it was how they failed. There were misspellings worthy of 9-year-olds, an inability to describe nouns and verbs, and failure to define words such as ‘imminent.’ Most of the blaming fingers point to teachers colleges, which often fail to attract the brightest students or assure they master the basics of subjects they are to teach. Said ... Diane Ravitch, ‘Today in some states, it may be harder to graduate from high school than to become a certified teacher.’” (7/6/98) The Boston Globe : “Some of Massachusetts’ best- known colleges had among the highest failure rates on the new teacher certification test... In response, the disappointed schools vowed to revamp their curriculum.” (7/24/98)

Back to FairTest's Home Page FairTest Examiner Mass. Teacher Test Blasted Again Summer 99 A second independent academic study has strongly criticized the controversial Massachusetts Teacher Tests (recently relabeled the Massachusetts Educator Certification Tests or MECT, since they are also required for school administrators). Like the first external analysis (see Examiner , Winter 1998-99), "Teacher Education & Testing in Massachusetts" by the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Massachusetts (AICUM) concludes that "No evidence has been provided to the public . . . that the MECTs are valid . . . or that these tests are reliable." Authors Susan Melnick, Ph.D., who teaches at Michigan State University, and Diana Pullin, Ph.D., J.D., the former Dean of Boston College's School of Education, raise a number of additional issues, including the potential disparate impact of the testing program on minorities. According to their review of state data, not a single non-white candidate passed all sections of the exam on its first administration. Subsequently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts stopped releasing data on racial group passage rates. The report notes potential conflicts between the high MECT failure rate and the growing demand for new teachers. It concludes by laying out a variety of possible responses by teacher training institutions, ranging from "do nothing" to "engage in litigation against the Commonwealth and/or support students who choose the legal route to contesting the denial of their teacher certification on the basis of failing the tests after they had met all the other requirements for the credential."
