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).

Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Washington DC. ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers must have special preparation to teach English to non-native speakers; being a fluent speaker or an effective teacher of English to native speakers is not enough. Just as teaching mathematics or French requires special knowledge and skills, teaching English as a Second Language does also. This Digest outlines some of the relevant issues concerning ESL teacher certification: profiles of students needing ESL instruction, reasons for considering certification, academic preparation needed to teach ESL, and a description of state requirements for certification. WHO NEEDS AN ESL TEACHER? Estimates based on the 1980 Census indicate that in 1980-81 at least three-and-a-half million school-age children in the United States lacked the English language skills needed to succeed in school. These children, whose native language is not English, generally fall into two groups. The first, limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, speak, understand, and may read and write English, but not well enough to keep up academically with their native English-speaking peers. The second group, non-English-speaking (NES) students, do not speak or understand English and may have no literacy skills in their native language. This factor complicates attempts to teach them English.

Alternative Certification an Early Success By Phillip S. Rogers( From Foresight , Vol. 7, No. 2 published 2000 Because teacher shortages are predicted, alternative routes to certification now offered by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) may become increasingly important. One possible route is based on exceptional work experience. The EPSB approved the first application for this alternative route to certification in July 1998 and has since approved another 21 applications. Approved applicants are issued a provisional certificate upon satisfactory completion of the Kentucky Teacher Internship Program. They are required to have: 10 years of exceptional work experience in the area for which certification is sought a bachelor’s degree with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale an offer of employment at the secondary level (grades 9-12) in a school district an application for certification, submitted jointly to the EPSB by the applicant and the hiring school district. A recent EPSB review of this route to certification, including interviews with the 22 teachers approved and their supervisors, found that 13 or 59 percent are men, who are usually outnumbered three to one in the field. On average, these newly certified teachers are 45 years old, and have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0. The majority, 16 of the 22, hold a master’s degree or higher; one has a doctorate.

67. Introduction Interspersed throughout the chapters, as well, is information about the teacher education and certification system in kentucky and the possible effects of http://www.kltprc.net/books/kysteachers/Chpt_01.htm

Introduction By Stephen Clements From Kentucky's Teachers: Charting a Course for KERA's Second Decade pp. 1-4, published 1999 Much of the new resources funneled into the public school system through KERA have been used to increase the numbers of teachers and aides. In the first five years of reform, the teacher workforce in Kentucky grew from 35,558 to 38,063, or about 9 percent. Even though student enrollment only increased by 1 percent during this period, schools added new teachers and aides to lower pupil-teacher ratios, provide support services, and offer new programs such as kindergarten and preschool. Indeed, a considerable portion of the overall state and local education dollar is devoted to the teacher workforce. The preferred approach to school reform in Kentucky, therefore, appears to be to improve the teacher workforce by increasing entry standards, giving teachers greater influence over crucial educational decisions, and motivating them through an array of incentives. The success of reform in the Commonwealth will largely hinge upon the extent to which teaching and learning improves as a result of these systemic changes. By several measures, Kentucky teachers are doing well. On average, they have received more graduate training than their peers in most other states. Many were mentored as they began their careers. And nearly all teachers have received appropriate certification. Though Kentucky teachers are still being paid less than the national average, teacher salary increases have kept pace with educator salary growth elsewhere, and teacher salaries in the Commonwealth compare favorably to those in many other occupations. Moreover, the students being drawn into teaching in the state score above state and national averages on college entrance exams. In addition, state teacher training institutions have for years overproduced teachers. As a result, Kentucky in the aggregate does not appear to face serious teacher shortages as some other states do.

The Web presence of EPSB at http://www.kyepsb.net/ contains basic information on the legal requirements for teacher and administrative certification in Kentucky, and other information. However, a much more recent initiative, KyEducators.org, offers online professional development and many other services directly to teachers.

Majors Education The purpose of the Education Program at Centre College is to provide study for undergraduate students in the methods and theories of effective teaching and to give the students practical experiences in classroom settings. We believe that the undergraduate college experience offers an excellent opportunity for prospective teachers to integrate pedagogical studies and experience with a rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences. Our mission is for our students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for the complexities of teaching and learning and, as alumni, to lead lives of learning, leadership, and service as effective elementary and secondary classroom teachers. An assumption of the Education Program is that a liberal arts education, with a solid foundation of content matter and critical reflection at its heart, is the most appropriate type of preparation for teachers. By acquiring content knowledge as well as the skills of reflective teaching, students who become teachers will develop into self-directed professionals. The Education Program has four principal goals: B. to provide experiences and information to help students decide whether a career in teaching is appropriate for them.

Lieb, executive director of the state's Education Professional Standards Board, explained the reasons behind the change during yesterday's meeting of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. The new standards have angered some school superintendents including Stephen Daeschner of Jefferson County, who has said that raising the bar has diminished the hiring pool of new teachers, particularly minorities.
