Extractions: and Certification Standards In recent years, as many as 50,000 people have entered teaching on emergency or substandard licenses because they lacked full qualification. Thirty percent of the math teachers in high schools do not even have a college minor in math. The figures for science are not much better. If teacher preparation programs, policies for state licensure (initial approval) and certification (endorsement for full teaching or teaching in certain areas), as well as school district hiring and evaluation practices have set low expectations for teachers, it is primarily because no standards existed to guide them. That is no longer true. Three parallel developments are pushing the teaching profession toward high standards, enveloping the teaching career from beginning to end in rigorous attention to quality. One development concerns pre-service education. As the teacher preparation section described, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) requires institutions of higher learning seeking its seal of approval to ensure that their students know how to teach to the higher content standards being adopted by most states and that future teachers demonstrate their skills through performance assessments rather than through the traditional "seat time" accumulation of course credits. A second important way that standards are being raised is through initial licensure. Licensure is being transformed in at least 30 states into a true measure of a teacher's knowledge and skills. These states are members of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers. It is creating performance standards for the licensing of beginning teachers and is developing assessments that match the standards.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education Washington DC. Alternative Teacher CertificationAn Update. ERIC Digest. The search for an alternate route to certify teachers has generated ideological debates revolving around educational quality. Supporters of traditional teacher certification argue that to improve the quality of education it is imperative to ensure that both professional knowledge and subject-matter competency are grounded in a solid foundation of pedagogical training (Roth, 1986; Shulman, 1986, 1987; Watts, 1986; Kennedy, 1990). DEFINITIONS The alternative certification process includes holding a bachelors degree in the subject to be taught; achieving a passing score on a certification test; undergoing brief, intensive teacher training; and completing a supervised teaching internship, after which certification is recommended by the employing school district. It generally is a process designed to certify candidates who have subject-matter competencies, without going through formal teacher preparation. Alternative certification programs are being experimented with in 39 states, with the general goals of attracting talented people and career changers to the teaching profession and averting teacher shortages where they exist. Feistritzer and Chester (1991) identified about 91 alternative routes to certification with varying programmatic characteristics.

Extractions: Total years as a classroom teacher: 23 Career Highlights Nancy Berry dreamed of being a teacher from the time she was a little girl. She overcame much adversity and abuse as a child and credits teachers with helping her. Superintendent Steven Kain in 1997 asked Nancy to accept the Columbia Elementary principal position even though she did not have her administrative certification. She accepted the job and obtained certification within a year. She keeps active in the classroom by teaching reading, creative writing, and science. In 1989, the Bureau of Education and Research invited her to become a presenter. She made presentations in 46 states before giving up national speaking in 1992. Berry has authored several educational materials and calls herself a "child advocate." One of her guiding principles is that "behavior is like a shirt; it can be changed."
