December 22, 2000 2000-R-1174 ALTERNATE ROUTE TO TEACHER CERTIFICATION By: Judith Lohman, Chief Analyst You asked the following questions about Connecticut's alternative route to certification (ARC) program for teachers: (1) how many are enrolled in the program, (2) how many fail to graduate, and (3) whether ARC graduates must meet the same standards as other certified teachers. You also asked for a comparison of Connecticut's ARC program with those in several other states. SUMMARY There are currently 163 students enrolled in the state's ARC program, according to the Department of Higher Education (DHE), the agency that administers it. In 1999 (the most recent year for which figures are available), 158 out of 159 participants graduated unconditionally. ARC graduates must meet the same requirements as other applicants for teacher certification. According to the National Education Information Center, 40 states have a total of 115 ARC programs of various types. Because the programs vary widely, the center groups them into eight classes. Connecticut's and seven other states' programs fall into Class A. Class A programs have the following characteristics: We enclose the center's profiles of the eight programs that meet these criteria, including Connecticut's.

School Issues Center Archives: VIEW ALL ARTICLES Assessment ... StarrPoints School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E What Makes Teachers Good? There's no doubt that experience matters and that hands-on classroom experience is important, but so is knowledge of all the factors involved in teaching young people. Employing the same poorly defined teaching methods over and over again methods that are the result of a lack of knowledge of educational theory and practices does not produce a better teacher. Last week, the Baltimore-based Abell Foundation released a report examining the relationship between Maryland's teacher certification requirements and teacher quality. Maryland as most other states do requires candidates for teacher certification to have taken a certain number and type of education and subject matter courses. In reviewing the results of more than 150 studies conducted over a 50-year period, Abell researchers found "little evidence" that the required courses affected either teacher quality or student achievement. The report

Teaching Jobs Overseas International Employment for Teachers Teaching Jobs Overseas Topics: international teaching, teaching overseas, teaching abroad, American and international schools, overseas jobs, international employment, etc. Alternative Certification Many states have developed or are initiating programs that provide alternative routes to teacher certification, particularly for mid-career professionals. The goal of such programs is to draw a diversity of individuals with in-depth subject matter backgrounds into teaching careers. Requirements for an alternative teaching license vary by state. For an overseas position, it does not matter what state your license is from. Generally, applicants must hold a bachelors degree in the subject to be taught, achieve a passing score on state-required examinations, complete an intensive teacher preparation program, and possibly fulfill a supervised teaching internship. Specific information on which school systems are offering internships can be requested from the schools. After satisfactory completion of these requirements, the applicant will be issued a teaching credential.
