National Teacher of the year to speak at Celebration of Teaching Dottie Witter Communications Services Oklahoma State University Michele Forman, standing, the 2001 National Teacher of the Year, will present the keynote address at the 12th Celebration of Teaching on April 8. More than 300 people are expected to attend, including teachers who have just received national teacher certification, cooperating teachers, district Oklahoma teachers of the year, previous Oklahoma Teachers of the Year, high school students identified as being future teachers, and members of teacher cadet corps. Breakout sessions for teachers and for students are scheduled, along with optional campus tours. Twelve years ago, Forman and a group of high school students started the Student Coalition on Human Rights. Each year her students select human rights issues on which to focus, ranging from the celebration of diverse cultures to the elimination of poverty to projects with Amnesty International. Their activities have included bringing a portion of the AIDS quilt to the community and leading a commemoration in Middlebury of the statewide Holocaust Days of Remembrance. To help students increase their acceptance of differences in others led Forman on her own journey to learned Arabic language, an experience she said helped her realize how difficult it can be for students to understand complex subjects and how they must remain focused and determined during a challenging learning process. Now in its fourth year, her before-school Arabic course regularly attracts about 18 high school students.

Return to the 1999 Congressional Record directory Project FREEDOM Opening Page CONGRESSIONAL RECORD: May 5, 1999 OPPOSING NATIONAL TEACHER CERTIFICATION OR NATIONAL TEACHER TESTING HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS [Page: E858] Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation to forbid the use of federal funds to develop or implement a national system of teacher certification or a national teacher test. My bill also forbids the Department of Education from denying funds to any state or local education agency because that state or local educational agency has refused to adopt a federally-approved method of teacher certification or testing. This legislation in no way interferes with a state's ability to use federal funds to support their chosen method of teacher certification or testing. Having failed to implement a national curriculum through the front door with national student testing (thanks to the efforts of members of the Education Committee under the leadership of Chairman Goodling ), the administration is now trying to implement a national curriculum through the backdoor with national teacher testing and certification. National teacher certification will allow the federal government to determine what would-be teachers need to know in order to practice their chosen profession. Teacher education will revolve around preparing teachers to pass the national test or to receive a national certificate. New teachers will then base their lesson plans on what they needed to know in order to receive their Education Department-approved teaching certificate. Therefore, I call on those of my colleagues who oppose a national curriculum to join me in opposing national teacher testing and certification with the same vigor with which you opposed national student testing.

73. Teacher Supply And Demand Educational Board to conduct a study on teacher supply and Employment by academicmajor Certified education graduates hired oklahoma certification requirements; http://www.ok-marketplace.org/tjc/supplyDemand/supplyDemand.asp

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recently commissioned the Southern Regional Educational Board to conduct a study on teacher supply and demand in Oklahoma. The study shows that Oklahoma produces enough teachers but is experiencing hiring shortages for teachers of high demand subjects and in certain parts of the state. Overall the study reports that Oklahoma will likely meet the demand for administrators as well as for elementary, early childhood, high school language arts, high school social studies, middle school math and high school vocational-technical teachers through 2002. During the same period, employment shortages are expected for high school math, foreign language, special education, art and music teachers; counselors; and librarians. Oklahoma schools may also experience a shortage of high school biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and computer science teachers. Links to sections of the report are provided below.

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).
