Use your browser's back button to return to Senator Rockefeller's Webpage. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 5, 2003 ROCKEFELLER CONGRATULATES WEST VIRGINIA’S TEACHER OF THE YEAR –Senator Says Clarksburg Educator Sets Standards For Mountain State Teachers– WASHINGTON, D.C. – Praising her hard work and dedication to education, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) congratulated Mary Devono of West Milford Elementary in Clarksburg for being named the West Virginia teacher of the year. Last week, Rockefeller met with Devono in his Washington, D.C. office while she was in the nation’s capital with other teachers of the year to participate in various meetings, workshops, and to attend a White House reception in their honor. "Mary goes above and beyond the call of duty, a quality that helped her earn the title of West Virginia teacher of the year. Her dedication to her students and to the job she does in the classroom is exemplary. She is also one of West Virginia’s 88 teachers who have received certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards – one of the highest national credentials for an educator. She sets the standard for teachers across the nation to follow, and we are very lucky to have her in our education system," Rockefeller said. Recently Rockefeller introduced the Incentives to Educate American Children Act of 2003 (I TEACH), which would provide financial incentives to recruit and retain qualified teachers like Mary Devono. Under Rockefeller’s I TEACH plan, educators would receive a $1,000 refundable tax credit for earning a national Board for Professional Teach Standards certification. The legislation would also offer a $1,000 refundable tax credit for teachers who work in rural or low-income schools.

Education Virginia's teachers are the key to the success of Virginia's students and are working harder than ever to teach our children, implementing some of the toughest academic standards in the nation.

Just as our children's education starts with the "3 R's," so too does the Kilgore plan to recruit, retain and reward the nation's best teachers. Recruit - Recruiting new teachers is increasingly difficult as competition grows with other occupations that can offer more compensation and benefits. As the student population increases, the number of teachers is declining, especially in hard-to-recruit school districts and in areas such as science, special education, mathematics and technical studies.

Mrs. Quesenberry, HAE Music Teacher, earns National Board Certification® in 2004 Announcement comes on the heels of independent research proving National Board Certified Teachers are among the best in the country (Arlington, Va.) The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) has announced that 182 Virginia teachers and school counselors earned their profession's top honor this year by achieving National Board Certification®, an increase that promises to improve student learning in classrooms throughout the state. The total number of Virginia teachers and school counselors certified by NBPTS now stands at 726. "I couldn't be prouder of the 182 Virginia teachers who achieved National Board Certification this year," said Gov. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.). "The high standards that National Board Certified Teachers have met translate into increased learning in our students, and particularly those students in low performing schools. We now have a cadre of over 700 National Board Certified Teachers in Virginia, a powerful force for strengthening the teaching profession, improving student learning, and transforming our schools. I congratulate every one of you." National Board Certification is the highest credential in the teaching profession. A voluntary process established by NBPTS, certification is achieved through a rigorous performance-based assessment that takes between one and three years to complete and measures what accomplished teachers and school counselors should know and be able to do.

Number 2 Pencil Kimberly's take on testing and education reform Main June 27, 2005 The new math means no math for Virginia teachers Several Devoted Readers have sent in the news that the Virginia Board of Education is phasing out the Praxis I licensure exam for teachers . There is a new exam for these teachers that apparently doesn't contain any of the tricky math that was on the Praxis I: Praxis I is a basic reading and math skills test that has been a hurdle for some teachersespecially the math portion. Starting Jan. 1, the state will require teachers to take a new test for licensure. It will eliminate the math material of the Praxis I. Instead, it will require teachers to analyze readings, write an essay, interpret tables and graphs, and demonstrate knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, all "on a college level," said Charles Pyle, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Education. The Washington Post claims that VA teachers will now have to be more "literate and proficient in the subjects they teach," but those who don't intend to be teaching math need not worry about a standardized math test: Kate Walsh, president of the Washington-based National Council on Teacher Quality, said she pushed for a new literacy test when she testified before a Virginia panel examining licensure requirements. Research has shown that the ability to read and speak effectively is the most reliable predictor of future success in the classroom, she said...

Home World of Education Studying at Community College Community college is two years of college after high school, leading to an associate's degree. Right? Well, not necessarily. But what about the money Paying for College More Financial Aid Info Community colleges actually teach lots of different subjects in many different kinds of programs to a diverse population of students, from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals looking to make a career change. They offer not only associate's degrees, but certificates, diplomas, "career studies" certificates, and apprenticeships. Some people go to community college planning to transfer to a four-year bachelor's program later on. Others need only a certificate or associate's degree to get the job they want. Still others actually already have degree, but want certification in a specific skill, like keyboarding, Visual Basic programming, or medical coding. Still others enroll in apprenticeship programs where they learn a skilled trade. Certificates, Diplomas, & "Careers Studies" Certificates
