Extractions: My daughter Rachel is a sophomore in high school. When she was born there was no question of whether or not she would go to college. The decision involved where, not if. Nowadays she is busy learning a foreign language and agonizing over algebra problems, but she is equally at home in her construction class. College is still very much a part of her future, but her career and technical experience has helped her develop a focus, a greater understanding of math, and has truly nurtured her leadership skills to the point where she does not have a problem bossing a group of boys on a building project. Like Rachel, all high school students need a focus. For some, it will be college immediately after graduation. For most, it is employment and then the eventual realization that further education or training is necessary to obtain the desired job. For too long, every student was forced to fit into an antiquated mold designed for the top ten percent of the student body - those definitely going to college. This brought about excessive failures, unfulfilled expectations, and behavior problems. It is time for the neglected majority - the other 90% - to realize their full potential as well.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Promising Practices: New Ways to Improve Teacher Quality - September 1998 The Induction of New Teachers Beginning teachers rarely make smooth transitions into teaching. Often they are hired at the last moment, left isolated in their classrooms, and given little helpa true example of the "sink or swim" attitude toward those newly hired. Consequently, attrition rates among new teachers often are five times higher than among experienced teachers. Improved induction programs need to give all teachers, whether new or experienced, considerable support. In the first three years, schools and universities should focus on assisting and supporting new teachers rather than simply assessing their work. Comprehensive induction programs should provide new teachers the necessary models and tools for beginning their teaching careers, as well as the mentors and support groups to guide them through curriculum planning. Mentors for new teachers should be assigned reduced teaching schedules so that they have time to provide support. Induction programs should provide specific guidance aimed at helping new teachers meet performance standards for continued certification. At the end of three years, assessment of teachers' performance is critical. The evaluation should be based on rigorous, widely accepted standards for granting tenure and should involve administrators and teachers.
Alternative Certification For Teachers. ERIC Digest program to receive a standard certificate; most programs are cooperatively run bythe three delaware institutions of higher education that prepare teachers. http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-923/certification.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education Washington DC. Alternative Certification for Teachers. ERIC Digest 1, 1986. Teacher shortages and public discussion about the quality of teacher education have been catalysts for the implementation of alternative routes to teacher certification for several states. Alternative certification is defined by specific state programs. While it is too early to know the results of such programs, evaluation questions can be framed. WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION FOR TEACHERS? Teacher certification, in general, is a process designed to ensure that individuals who enter teaching meet minimum standards for competence (Koff, Florio, and Cronin, 1976). These minimum standards for initial entry are set by each state; the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification produces a manual containing these certification requirements. Typically, these requirements include specific numbers of undergraduate credit hours from institutions of higher education in subject matter (such as math and English), in professional studies (such as child development and teaching methods), and in student teaching. Universities and colleges "certify" that their graduates have met these minimum credit hour standards as part of the state teacher licensure process. In some states, certificates are issued at graduation; in others, certificates are issued after a probationary teaching period.

State of Delaware History In 1912, the courses of study were changed to Academic, Agricultural, Mechanic Arts, and Domestic Science. The Bachelor of Pedagogy degree was awarded on creditable completion of the academic curriculum. A certificate of graduation was granted on completion of the other courses of study. In the 1916-1917 school year, the Preparatory Department was phased out, a Model Grade School was established, and a high school diploma was granted on completion of a four-year course of study. In 1923, a Junior College Division was added. Four-year curricula in the Arts and Sciences, Elementary Education, Home Economics, Agriculture, and Industrial Arts were established in 1932. The College graduated the first class of bachelor-degree candidates completing one of these courses of study in June 1934. On July 1, 1993, Delaware State College turned another chapter in its history, when Governor Thomas Carper signed a name change into law, thus renaming the College to Delaware State University.
