Empirical evidence of the importance of teacher quality is mounting, and has sparked a dialogue about the quality of the nation's teaching force. In Tennessee, research by William Sanders has quantified the cumulative effects of even one or two bad teachers on a student. He found substantial differences in student achievement based on the sequence in which a student had particular teachers. Similar studies elsewhere have shown the same results. Perversely, the students who need the very best teachers are the ones most likely to be hurt by the shortfall of quality teachers) For more information visit: http://www.ppionline.org

The following individuals constituted the ATE Commission on Early Childhood Teacher Education and contributed to and guided the development of these guidelines: John M. Johnston, Chairperson; Doris Bergen; Sue Bredekamp; Jim Campbell; Michael D. Davis; Anne Dorsey; Stacie G.

MCPP Home Page Popular Pages Studies Commentaries ... Why Contribute Search Advanced Search Home Policy Research Educational Programs ... Contact Us Author Dr. George C. Leef Summary One of the education establishment’s biggest dodges of the issue of how to find the best teachers is to tout “teacher certification” as a kind of failsafe insurance against incompetence. The establishment’s program for promoting nationwide certification is the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Michigan is wise not to be a big supporter of this program, since recent studies reveal its inability to make a difference where it counts: in the classroom. Main Text Word Count: 692 Posted: Monday, November 04, 2002 Michigan Not a Big Supporter of National Certification Program ISSN: 1093-2240 SKU: v2002-39 Everyone wants competent, effective teachers for America’s schoolchildren. The question is how to go about getting them. One of the biggest dodges of the issue, used primarily by the education establishment, is to tout “teacher certification” as a kind of failsafe insurance against incompetence. On the national level, the program that professes to confer unassailable legitimacy upon the capabilities of teachers is the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). Formed in 1987, NBPTS has standards for teachers that, it claims, “have forged a national consensus on what accomplished teachers know and should be able to do.”

40. ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest., Kreidler, Carol J. New York, Rhode Island, tennessee, Texas, Utah on specific state requirements forcertification can be Blatchford, CH DIRECTORY OF teacher PREPARATION PROGRAMS http://ericae.net/edo/ed276306.htm

From the ERIC database ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. Kreidler, Carol J. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers must have special preparation to teach English to non-native speakers; being a fluent speaker or an effective teacher of English to native speakers is not enough. Just as teaching mathematics or French requires special knowledge and skills, teaching English as a Second Language does also. This Digest outlines some of the relevant issues concerning ESL teacher certification: profiles of students needing ESL instruction, reasons for considering certification, academic preparation needed to teach ESL, and a description of state requirements for certification. WHO NEEDS AN ESL TEACHER? Estimates based on the 1980 Census indicate that in 1980-81 at least three-and-a-half million school-age children in the United States lacked the English language skills needed to succeed in school. These children, whose native language is not English, generally fall into two groups. The first, limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, speak, understand, and may read and write English, but not well enough to keep up academically with their native English-speaking peers. The second group, non-English-speaking (NES) students, do not speak or understand English and may have no literacy skills in their native language. This factor complicates attempts to teach them English.
