Other Sites ABE Teachers Certification for Massachusetts by Carey Reid and Mary Jayne Fay Field Notes main page Summer 2000 issue T he statewide ABE Certification Committee has been working steadily since last spring to recommend a process to certify adult basic education teachers in the Commonwealth. The Committee has worked hard to make the process fair, inclusive, and meaningful, and to align this process with the state's Pre-K-12 certification system while preserving the unique characteristics of the adult basic education field. The Committee members represent particular constituencies unions, part-time and full- time teachers, and professional organizations but their work was also heavily influenced by the efforts of prior committees and work groups and by feedback gathered from the field through email and focus groups. Feedback from Practitioners In fact, feedback from practitioners has had a direct impact on staff members who have supported the work of the Advisory Committee and on the Committee's specific recommendations. As a result of feedback, for example, the Committee has recommended ways for veteran teachers to receive credit for their knowledge and experience. The Committee generated a first Interim Report to Commissioner David Driscoll on October 4, 1999. A second Interim Report was recently published and is now out for public comment.

52. Mass. Teacher Test Blasted Again academic study has strongly criticized the controversial massachusetts teacher Tests (recently relabeled the massachusetts Educator certification Tests or MECT http://www.fairtest.org/examarts/summer99/Mass._Teacher_Test_Blasted_Again.htm

Back to FairTest's Home Page FairTest Examiner Mass. Teacher Test Blasted Again Summer 99 A second independent academic study has strongly criticized the controversial Massachusetts Teacher Tests (recently relabeled the Massachusetts Educator Certification Tests or MECT, since they are also required for school administrators). Like the first external analysis (see Examiner , Winter 1998-99), "Teacher Education & Testing in Massachusetts" by the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Massachusetts (AICUM) concludes that "No evidence has been provided to the public . . . that the MECTs are valid . . . or that these tests are reliable." Authors Susan Melnick, Ph.D., who teaches at Michigan State University, and Diana Pullin, Ph.D., J.D., the former Dean of Boston College's School of Education, raise a number of additional issues, including the potential disparate impact of the testing program on minorities. According to their review of state data, not a single non-white candidate passed all sections of the exam on its first administration. Subsequently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts stopped releasing data on racial group passage rates. The report notes potential conflicts between the high MECT failure rate and the growing demand for new teachers. It concludes by laying out a variety of possible responses by teacher training institutions, ranging from "do nothing" to "engage in litigation against the Commonwealth and/or support students who choose the legal route to contesting the denial of their teacher certification on the basis of failing the tests after they had met all the other requirements for the credential."

Education Policy Analysis Archives, 11 (13). Retrieved [date] from http://epaa.asu.edu/epaa/v11n13/. Abstract Improving teacher supply and quality is among the most important educational issues the United States faces today as policy makers seek to hire, over the next ten years, both more and better teachers than ever before (Zernike, 2000). In Massachusetts, state officials have developed a number of initiatives to address this goal, the most notable being the Massachusetts Signing Bonus Program for New Teachers. This fast-track alternative to traditional certification programs has garnered national attention for its $20,000 bonuses to selected candidates, its cross-country recruiting campaign, its intensive seven-week training provided by the Massachusetts Institute for New Teachers (MINT), and its claims of success (School Board News, 2001).

Collaborations with Tufts University and Lesley University enable apprentices to also earn master's degrees in Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School Education. In the spring of 1998, the TTC launched its first urban school partnerships with The John M. Tobin Public Elementary School and Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge. Interested apprentices spend from February to June gaining experience in a public school setting. In line with its broad outreach efforts, the TTC has consulted with more than 100 other schools and has recently worked with the Tufts Pilot High School/Boston Arts Academy Training Collaborative and City On A Hill Charter School. Credentials A master's degree is not essential to acquiring certification under the Education Reform Act. Completion of the Teacher Training Course enables graduates to obtain standard certification with an alternative to a master's degree. Upon satisfactory completion of the TTC and the Massachusetts Teachers' Test, graduates are eligible to receive early childhood, elementary, or middle school generalist Teacher's Certification. Once certified in Massachusetts, teachers are eligible for certification in 40 other states under the reciprocal Interstate Agreement. Master's Degrees in Education Apprentices who wish to earn a master's degree concurrently with their TTC work have the option of applying to one of the following state-approved programs: Lesley University /Shady Hill School M.Ed. in Early Childhood, Elementary, or Middle School Education.
