ED SPEAK Action for Better Schools Teacher Quality Counts by Sonia Arora AN IDEAL TEACHING JOB After successfully teaching at the school for three years, Irene applies for a research grant that would allow her to study medicinal plants on the Galapagos Islands. Her principal offers her a nine-month sabbatical to conduct the research as long as she promises to return to the school for at least another two years. She gladly accepts the offer and develops a curriculum based on her research and travels. While on leave, she works with another teacher on a science unit exploring ways to test the validity of herbal home remedies used by students and their families. Are you still reading to see where this school is located? So am I. As a teacher who has worked in urban and suburban schools, I know very few schools that offer what is described in this sadly fictitious scenario. LICENSE TO TEACH Although this policy may be successful in forcing some school districts to cut back on the number of teachers with emergency certifications, it does not acknowledge other factors that make teachers successful in the classroom. NCLB does not provide the support needed for sound professional development, nor does it help districts fill hard-to-staff positions.

State Certification Requirements for History Teachers By Sarah Drake Brown December 2003 In concert with a rising interest in history education, there is concern about the quality of education and certification of history teachers. Many researchers, theorists, and specialists have weighed in on the issue of teacher preparation and certification. To what extent are history teachers prepared and certified to teach the discipline? This Digest discusses (1) general findings about out-of-field teaching, (2) findings about state teacher certification requirements, (3) findings about content standards for teacher preparation and licensure, and (4) recommendations for improving preparation and certification requirements for history teachers. OUT-OF-FIELD TEACHING IN HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCES According to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics School and Staffing Survey, in 1999-2000 71% of middle school history teachers lacked a college major in history or certification in history; 11.5% lacked a college major, a college minor, or certification in history. At the high school level, 62.5% lacked a college major or certification in history and 8.4% lacked a college major, college minor, or certification. The results for social science teachers were not quite as dismal, but they were notable nonetheless. Most striking is that the percentage of middle and high school teachers who had neither a college history major nor certification increased since 1987-1988. The high school increase was slight-62.1% to 62.5%. But at the middle school level, out-of-field teachers increased from 67.5% to 71% (Gewertz 2002).

Teacher licensure Educators' Bulletin Board Classroom resources IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues ... ONLINE SERVICES By Joanne M. Haas Ron Jetty, a WEAC teaching and learning consultant, said that if the state did not have PI 34 in place when it did, teachers could now be facing some onerous federal requirements, including multiple-choice knowledge tests and requirements that they return to college campuses for additional degrees. Jack Kean The positive ones pretty much mirror provisions of PI 34, said Jack Kean of the state Department of Public Instruction. And fortunately for Wisconsin teachers, the list of allowable uses for ESEA funds for highly qualified teachers is a close match to PI 34 provisions. Had the implementation of PI 34 not been under way when the newly revised ESEA came along, the state would have been forced to rewrite the rules, Kean said. And those changes may not have been to the liking of state educators, Jetty said, suggesting the state might be looking at a system with a lot more red tape. Providing mentors to educators.

PRINT THIS STORY More teachers are finding national certificate a boon By AMY HETZNER of the Journal Sentinel staff Last Updated: Jan. 7, 2001 A veteran teacher, Wendy Rowley had two college degrees, a teaching certificate and worked both days and nights, but nonetheless felt compelled to take on a new challenge to gain the professional respect she felt was lacking. So in 1998 she applied for certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to show that while she might work for "a failing school" - where she no longer works and declined to name - she was not a "failing teacher." Two years and 300 hours of worklater, Rowley in November became the first teacher in the Milwaukee Public Schools - and one of only 33 Wisconsin teachers - to earn the recognition many call prestigious but some view skeptically.
