Kansas Const., Art. 6, Sec. 6. Homeschooling: The Kansas compulsory attendance law requires that the parents of children ages 7 through 18 have those children regularly attend school during the school year. The compulsory attendance law can be satisfied through home schooling, provided it is operated for substantially the same length of time as the public schools (1,116 hours per year), be taught by a "competent instructor", offer planned and scheduled instruction appropriate to the age-level of each student being educated, and monitors and keeps records of the achievement and progress of its students. Additionally, private nonaccredited schools, including home schools, must register with the State Board of Education. Miscellaneous: Updated January 2000
Extractions: Only the National Education Association and some of the other members of the educational establishment continue to defend teacher certification and high qualification standards for homeschoolers, in spite of the overwhelming research against the need for such teaching standards. Their vested interest in certified teachers may explain their blindness to the facts. This report summarizes research and opinions of professional educators, confirming the absence of a positive correlation between teacher qualifications and student performance. There is also a clear trend in the legislatures and the courts away from enacting or enforcing certification and other teaching standards to restrict homeschoolers.

Extractions: NSTA Teacher Certification An Overview T he National Science Teachers Association offers certification to elementary and middle level teachers of science and to teachers of biology, broadfield science, chemistry, earth and space science, general science, physics, and physical science. To become certified, teachers must meet specific standards of education and experience based on the grade level and/or subject they teach. A teacher is eligible to apply for certification after completing three years of full-time teaching. NSTA certification seeks to improve the quality of science teaching by recognizing teachers who are well qualified. NSTA certification gives teachers an edge in seeking or keeping a teaching assignment for which they are qualified and, where possible, in ascending the salary ladder. The NSTA standards have been adopted by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and by the Association for the Education of Teachers in Science. NSTA offers certification in the following categories: NSTA Certification in Science for Elementary Teachers:
