According to the latest teacher supply and demand projections, the nation will need to hire 2.2 million people to teach who are not currently teaching in the nation's elementary and secondary schools in the next decade. There is mounting concern about teacher preparation and the quality of the teaching force. Alarms have also been sounded about the numbers of teachers who are teaching "out of field", i.e., teaching a subject for which they have neither an academic major nor a minor.

National Center for Education Information Home Overview Surveys Publications ... Contact INTRODUCTION What officially began in the early 1980s as ways to ward off projected shortages of teachers, alternative routes to teacher certification have become major players in the production of highly qualified teachers. We at the National Center for Education Information (NCEI) have been polling state departments of education annually since 1983 regarding alternatives to the traditional approved college of education program route for licensing teachers. We have not only found a rapid development of alternative routes at the state level, but an explosion of individual providers of alternate route programs within each state. In addition, a consensus of the essential characteristics of an alternative teacher certification program has evolved. In 2005, 47 states, plus the District of Columbia, report 122 alternative routes to teacher certification being implemented by 619 providers of individual programs around the country. Based on data submitted by the states, NCEI estimates that more than 250,000 persons have been licensed through alternative routes to teacher certification programs since the mid-1980s, with most of the growth occurring in the last decade. Approximately 35,000 individuals are entering teaching through alternative teacher certification routes each year.

Toolkit Home > Alternative Certification Alternative Certification "Alternative certification" is a general term for non-traditional avenues that lead to teacher licensure. Alternative teacher certification programs (ACPs) are generally geared towards aspiring teachers who already have a baccalaureate degree, but who require additional education methods coursework and classroom experience. Such programs vary in requirements and sophistication and can be administered at the federal, state or district level. Emergency certification programs are sometimes discussed as one among a variety of ACP options. These programs are usually a makeshift response to local teacher shortages in particular subject areas and typically provide participants with little or no training before entering the classroom and often no on-site support. For purposes of this overview, however, ACPs are defined as a means to teaching certification that falls outside traditional full-time, baccalaureate or post-baccalaureate teacher preparation programs – not including emergency certification. History Since 1985, an estimated 200,000 candidates have taken alternative routes to become certified teachers, with more than 130,000 receiving certification in the last five years Driven by teacher shortages and changing requirements resulting from the passage of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, close to one-third of all new teachers certified annually in the United States, enter the field via alternative certification programs currently offered by 45 states and the District of Columbia.
