Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Washington DC. Foreign Language Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. 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).

Georgia Troops-to-Teachers There are a lot of exciting things happening at the moment both in the Troopsto teachers Program and with the teacher certification process in georgia. http://www.tttga.net/
Extractions: Congratulations on your interest in teaching in Georgia. We have a great need for public school teachers in the state. The Troops to Teachers Program is a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Defense. The purpose of the program is to assist men and women who have served the Nation as members of the Armed Forces and are now seeking a second career as teachers in America's public schools. Eligible service members may receive federal funding to help them meet state certification requirements as teachers and for agreeing to teach in high needs schools. The Troops to Teachers Program is not a teacher certification program. Troops to Teachers Candidates must meet the same certification requirements that any other teacher must meet. It does however provide financial assistance to eligible individuals in the form of a stipend up to $5K to help pay for teacher certification costs, or a bonus of up to $10K to teach in a "high needs" schools

NCLB Teacher Quality Promising Practices performance of new graduates from georgia teaching schools states can help underperformingteachers improve and provide a more rigorous certification experience http://www.nga.org/common/issueBriefDetailPrint/1,1434,5268,00.html
Extractions: NCLB: Teacher Quality Promising Practices NGA summary of promising state practices regarding No Child Left Behind's highly-qualified teacher provisions and links to more information. By the end of the 2005-06 school year, states must ensure that all teachers of core academic subjects are "highly qualified." In addition, starting in fall 2002, new teachers of core academic subjects in high-poverty schools must meet the definition of "highly qualified." Highly qualified teachers: States have developed policies and programs to address the barriers that have traditionally stood in the way of having a highly qualified teacher in every classroom. These initiatives include recruiting new teachers, ensuring teacher quality, promoting teacher retention, and collecting data about gaps in teacher quality. Recruit new teachers The California School Paraprofessional Teacher Training Program recruits paraprofessionals from the community and provides $3,000 for each participant to receive certification training. Seventy-five percent of the participants must work in high-poverty schools. By reducing unnecessary barriers into the teaching profession, including the creation of career ladders that enable paraprofessionals to become certified classroom teachers, states can maximize the number of new, highly-qualified teachers and meet the goal of having a highly-qualified teacher in every classroom.

Offered on a voluntary basis, National Board Certification complements, but does not replace, state licensing. While state licensing systems set requirements to teach in each state, National Board Certification establishes high and rigorous advanced standards for experienced teachers to demonstrate accomplished practice.

Extractions: International Employment for Teachers 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.
