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).

Students Learn More from National Board Certified Teachers Utilizing a sophisticated value-added model built from North Carolina elementary student test scores during a 3-year period, an independent research team has found that National Board Certified Teachers (NBCT’s) are far more likely to improve student achievement as measured by the state’s highly touted standardized testing system. The research team, led by labor economist Dan Goldhaber of the University of Washington and the Urban Institute, has noted that these findings “ provide direct evidence that the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards ( NBPTS) is identifying and certifying teachers who will raise student achievement” and they “could put to rest some of the controversy in education circles surrounding the national certification.” In particular, the study concluded that National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs): Are more effective at raising student achievement than teachers who pursue, but fail to obtain, NBPTS certification.
