Contact Us recognized as a quality online resource for education reporters November 2002, Education Writers Association (over 900 members) Teacher Certification Isn't Working The attached statement is an expression of the professors and teachers comprising the Education Consumers Consultants Network . It agrees with the Abell Foundation ( http://www.abell.org/ ) recent report that teacher certification has not worked to ensure teacher quality. Teacher certification is intended to protect the public from unsound and ineffective practice. We believe its failure is obvious. Public education has been embroiled in faddish innovations for decades. Clearly, these are practices that should have been more thoroughly evaluated before they were disseminated for classroom use and, clearly, they present the very kind of risk that parents and the public seek to avoid by hiring trained and certified teachers. In fact, however, poorly tested and ineffective educational practices have repeatedly been employed by fully trained and certified teachers, working in fully accredited schools, and under the supervision of fully trained and certified administrators.

Maryland Updated on November 23, 1998 Maryland The only mentoring and new teacher support in Maryland during most of the 1980's was a series of individual program efforts carried out on a voluntary basis by local school districts. In the Maryland State Dept. of Education and the area's regional lab (Research for Better Schools) conducted a research study on existing approaches to support of new teachers being used in the state. See Meister, G. (1987). "Current Practices in New Teacher Development in Maryland". MSDE and Research for Better Schools. During that same year, in an effort to inform the practices of existing programs and to support development of new programs, the same partnership also conducted and published a review of the mentoring literature and existing program models. See Newcombe, E. (1987). "Perspectives on Teacher Induction: A Review of the Literature and Promising Program Models". Baltimore, MD. MSDE and Research for Better Schools. Also in the state funded a pilot induction program in 5 school districts called the "Exemplary Programs Project". This pilot used the state's "Maryland Teacher Competencies" and the "Maryland Competency Observation Instrument. See Maryland State Dept. of Education. 1087).
