If you have your images turned off, you may be missing several important links. ast fall brought a change of leadership at the top of Arizona's government that holds potentially big implications for schools. Gov. Fife Symington was convicted Sept. 3 on seven felony counts of fraud committed as a private real estate developer. Under Arizona law, the Republican governor was forced to resign. By the evening of Sept. 5, Arizonans had a new governor in Republican Jane Dee Hull, a veteran state lawmaker and former teacher who was serving as the secretary of state. Ms. Hull's term extends until next November's gubernatorial election, in which she intends to run. As she took her place as chief executive, Gov. Hull proclaimed children and education her top priorities. It's a message many public educators in Arizona say they are happy to hear. For years, they say, they have played defense against what they describe as a Symington administration hostile to public educationa characterization Mr. Symington rejected. The former governor was a staunch advocate of private school vouchers. "We're really encouraged that there'll be a much more positive atmosphere for public education than we've had in the last six-plus years," says Barbara A. Robey, the director of government relations for the Arizona School Boards Association. "I think this will be a healing process for Arizona."

Extractions: 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.
Extractions: Calvert Institute for Policy Research Calvert E-Mail Volume IV, Number 1, Spring 1999 Jeffry L. Flake Five minutes into any discussion on the subject of teacher certification you're bound to hear the analogy: "If you needed heart bypass surgery, wouldn't you insist on having a licensed surgeon perform the procedure? Well, then, you certainly wouldn't want an uncertified teacher instructing your child, would you?" But is an uncertified teacher with a piece of chalk really as dangerous as an unlicensed physician wielding a scalpel? Hardly. In fact, on the whole, teacher-certification requirements do more to deter good teachers than to ensure them. There has long been anecdotal evidence that non-certified teachers do a pretty good job educating children. Most of the teachers employed in private schools are not certified, yet private school students routinely outscore their public school counterparts. Similarly, students who are home-schooled score better than students in public schools, although their parents rarely have the credentials required of public school teachers. Such evidence, however, is usually dismissed as just another indication that public schools are teaching those kids who are hardest to educate. Thus, the "certified means qualified" argument survives to this day. Times are changing. Arizona's charter school law, unlike most charter school laws around the country, allows non-certified teachers in any classroom. While most of the 250-plus charter schools around Arizona still have self-imposed requirements to use certified teachers, a good number do not. Therefore, we finally have a substantial pool of non-certified public school teachers. While it is still too early to make many scientific comparisons, anecdotal evidence tends to confirm the suspicions of those who dismiss the value of teacher certification.

Extractions: Board Members School district governing boards function as the overseers, policy makers and evaluators of school operations. They serve as the deliberative legislative branch of local education while the school administrators serve as the executive branch. Board members have to be aware of legal requirements and restrictions placed upon them, and to act publicly in accordance with Open Meeting Laws that provide for community awareness and input into decisions affecting local schools. The Academy of Board Member Development provides inservice training opportunities for governing board members to acquire a wide variety of skills, knowledge and abilities to meet the many responsibilities a school board member faces. Governance Issues Administrative Costs in Arizona schools represent important safeguards helping children. The Arizona Auditor General says they are below the national average.
