December 22, 2000 2000-R-1174 ALTERNATE ROUTE TO TEACHER CERTIFICATION By: Judith Lohman, Chief Analyst You asked the following questions about Connecticut's alternative route to certification (ARC) program for teachers: (1) how many are enrolled in the program, (2) how many fail to graduate, and (3) whether ARC graduates must meet the same standards as other certified teachers. You also asked for a comparison of Connecticut's ARC program with those in several other states. SUMMARY There are currently 163 students enrolled in the state's ARC program, according to the Department of Higher Education (DHE), the agency that administers it. In 1999 (the most recent year for which figures are available), 158 out of 159 participants graduated unconditionally. ARC graduates must meet the same requirements as other applicants for teacher certification. According to the National Education Information Center, 40 states have a total of 115 ARC programs of various types. Because the programs vary widely, the center groups them into eight classes. Connecticut's and seven other states' programs fall into Class A. Class A programs have the following characteristics: We enclose the center's profiles of the eight programs that meet these criteria, including Connecticut's.

65. NCLB Teacher Quality Promising Practices of Education, maryland has developed an alternative certification program that gives prospective teachers the opportunity to take certification classes online. http://www.nga.org/common/issueBriefDetailPrint/1,1434,5268,00.html

NCLB: Teacher Quality Promising Practices NGA summary of promising state practices regarding No Child Left Behind's highly-qualified teacher provisions and links to more information. By the end of the 2005-06 school year, states must ensure that all teachers of core academic subjects are "highly qualified." In addition, starting in fall 2002, new teachers of core academic subjects in high-poverty schools must meet the definition of "highly qualified." Highly qualified teachers: are fully credentialed (via traditional or alternative certification); can demonstrate competency; and possess a bachelor's degree. States have developed policies and programs to address the barriers that have traditionally stood in the way of having a highly qualified teacher in every classroom. These initiatives include recruiting new teachers, ensuring teacher quality, promoting teacher retention, and collecting data about gaps in teacher quality. Recruit new teachers The California School Paraprofessional Teacher Training Program recruits paraprofessionals from the community and provides $3,000 for each participant to receive certification training. Seventy-five percent of the participants must work in high-poverty schools. By reducing unnecessary barriers into the teaching profession, including the creation of career ladders that enable paraprofessionals to become certified classroom teachers, states can maximize the number of new, highly-qualified teachers and meet the goal of having a highly-qualified teacher in every classroom.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Kreidler, Carol J. 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.
