Extractions: April 10, 2003 ROCKEFELLER LEGISLATION PROMOTES TEACHER CERTIFICATION AND COMMITMENT TO RURAL AND LOW-INCOME SCHOOLS WASHINGTON, D.C. Focusing on the need to strengthen our education system, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) introduced legislation today to give financial incentives to recruit and retain qualified teachers. The Incentives to Educate American Children Act of 2003 (I TEACH) recognizes teachers for their commitment to education by offering a $1,000 tax credit for teachers who work in rural or low-income schools, and a $1,000 tax credit for those earning a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification. "Our teachers are unsung heroes. They work tirelessly to prepare our kids to go out into the world and too often do not receive the compensation and rewards they deserve," Rockefeller said. "In order for our children, and our nation to excel in the future, its critical that we provide financial incentives to keep qualified teachers in our classrooms." Throughout America and West Virginia, rural and low-income schools are finding themselves in a critical situation. West Virginia has rural schools scattered throughout 36 of its 55 counties, and of the 798 schools in the state, approximately 100 are low-income. "These institutions are having difficulty finding and keeping qualified teachers, and the I TEACH Act will tremendously help them in their efforts," the senator added.

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.
