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.

The purpose of this document is to ensure that all young children and their families have access to qualified early childhood teachers by guiding teacher educators and policymakers to (1) make informed decisions about early childhood teacher certification, (2) evaluate existing teacher certification standards, and (3) advocate for more appropriate early childhood teacher certification standards. Development of the Guidelines Several hundred early childhood and teacher education professionals participated in developing these guidelines. The following individuals constituted the ATE Commission on Early Childhood Teacher Education and contributed to and guided the development of these guidelines: John M. Johnston, Chairperson; Doris Bergen; Sue Bredekamp; Jim Campbell; Michael D. Davis; Anne Dorsey; Stacie G. Goffin; Marcy Guddemi; Beverly Gulley; Mary Jensen; Michael Kalinowski; Joyce Munro; Steven Silvern; and Bill Dixon, ATE Executive Board Liaison.

Ala. Code §§ 16-28A-1 through -5 (1975), requires each local board of education to develop a written policy on student discipline and behavior. Pursuant to this statute all teachers and administrators in each classroom are expected to maintain order and discipline and are thereby given the authority and responsibility to use appropriate means of discipline, up to and including corporal punishment, consistent with local board of education written policies. Ala. Code § 16-1-24.1 (1975) requires local boards to adopt and make available to all teachers, school personnel, students, and parents/guardians, at the beginning of the school year, a code of student conduct developed in consultation with teachers, school personnel, students, and parents/guardians. The code shall include, but not be limited to, specific grounds for disciplinary action and procedures to be followed for acts requiring discipline. Consistent with these state laws, corporal punishment should only be administered in compliance with a written discipline policy adopted by a local board of education.

FairTest Make a donation of $30 or more and receive the Examiner for a year. Teacher Tests A ccompanying the increased focus on student testing in the schools, some states, including Massachusetts, are rushing to test prospective and currently employed teachers. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to support the claim that standardized tests predict who will be a good teacher. The teacher tests in Massachusetts and New York were developed by National Evaluation Systems, the same company that created the controversial and doomed Alabama teacher test more than ten years ago. In 1987, the first issue of FairTest's newsletter, the Examiner reported on a legal victory won by four black teachers in their lawsuit against the state of Alabama. Their suit charged that the state's teacher-certification exam discriminated against blacks, violating their 14th Amendment protections and federal civil rights laws. In an out-of-court settlement, subsequently upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals, the State Board of Education in Alabama agreed to develop new tests and not to use the test as the sole criterion for certification. The state also agreed to pay the plaintiffs $500,000. In 1989, we reported on the
