Home Contact MSTA Staff Join Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education NBPTS - National Board of Professional Teaching Standards Praxis II Web site Destination: certification The road to career certification will become shorter and less complicated this year as the state implements a simplified two-tiered certification plan. The plan, which was championed in the state legislature by MSTA, gives new teachers more time to complete the requirements of the initial certificate. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has yet to establish all the rules of the new system. However, below are the general requirements spelled out in the new state law. Initial Professional Certificate (PCI) This four-year license is issued to new college graduates and to teachers with less than four years of experience. In order to complete your PCI, you must: Participate in a district mentoring program for a minimum of two years. Participate in a beginning teacher assistance (BTA) program. Complete a criminal background check.

27. Health Teacher Certification missouri State Health teacher certification. The Status of Health Education in missouri. You have heard of the missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP). http://www.lincolnu.edu/~ddalton/mohealthcert.htm

Missouri State Health Teacher Certification The Status of Health Education in Missouri You have heard of the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) . It is a document of standards which lays out the state's vision and expectations for a quality school and is the method of accrediting Missouri's public schools. One standard states: "The district must document how it is providing comprehensive health instruction, including, specifically, drug and alcohol abuse prevention education and AIDS prevention education to all students at every grade level." (Copies of the MSIP standards are available from DESE.) Presently, only courses that have "Health" in the course title require a Certified Health Teacher (CHT). These courses are found predominantly at the high school health level. The majority of Missouri's children (K-8) are expected to be taught health by classroom teachers who have not been certified to teach health. It is the "integrated" approach which often never gets done. Lincoln University would like to help central Missouri's active teachers become better prepared to integrate health into their classrooms by becoming Certified Health Teachers. Most of our health-related courses are offered in the late afternoon, evening, or summer for your convenience. In-service training can broaden the knowledge base of working teachers and get the much needed health curriculum actively working in Missouri schools. Our children and communities need it desparately. Lincoln University's Department of Education includes Health Education as a small part of its pre-service program.

Recruitment Letter University of Missouri-Columbia Mathematics Education 303 Townsend Hall Columbia, Missouri 65211 Phone: 573-882-4406 Fax: 573-882-4481 January 15, 2002 Dear Missouri Mathematics Educator: Greetings from mathematics and mathematics education faculty of institutions of higher education throughout Missouri! This letter is a request for your assistance. The teaching profession has reached a time of critical shortage. Many current teachers are reaching retirement age, and we see fewer certificates issued to new educators every year. Mathematics education is among the areas hardest hit by this shortage. In 2001, all Missouri higher education institutions combined graduated less than 100 middle and/or secondary mathematics teacher candidates. Last year more than 400 jobs were posted for mathematics teachers in Missouri. We know one of the strongest factors influencing young people to become a teacher is the encouragement of teachers they had in elementary, middle and secondary school. As a teacher, you are in a unique position to inform them about teaching as a career-its rewards as well as its challenges. We hope this letter will be the first step in an ongoing effort to encourage high school students with solid skills in mathematics to consider mathematics teaching as a career. Thanks for your help in spreading the word. If you have any questions about this request, or any suggestions for increasing interest in a career as a mathematics teacher, please let us know.

Quackwatch Home Page Great Moments in Accreditation: The Case of IAC, ACI, and The Three Stooges John Bear In 1982, there opened for business in Missouri the International Accrediting Commission (IAC). They aggressively marketed their accreditation services among hundreds of then-unaccredited institutions in the United States. Their standards were rather modest, but they were operating within the law, and they were able to bestow that magical word "accredited" upon their clients. More than 130 institutions had achieved IAC accreditation by 1989, when one Eric Vieth established the Eastern Missouri Business College and immediately applied to the International Accrediting Commission. Vieth opened his headquarters in a one-room office in St. Louis, Missouri, and issued an eight-page typewritten catalog that listed faculty members such as Arnold Ziffel, Edward J. Haskell, M. Howard, Jerome Howard, and Lawrence Fine. Trivia buffs may recall that Arnold Ziffel was the pig on the TV show Green Acres, Eddie Haskell was the obsequious friend on Leave It to Beaver, and the Messrs. Howard, Howard, and Fine were collectively known as the Three Stooges. It gets better. The college seal was emblazoned with the phrase Solum pro Avibus Est Educatio, which means "Education is only for the birds," and the motto was Latrocina et Raptus, or, loosely translated, everything from petty theft to highway robbery. Doctorates were offered by mail in dozens of fields, from aerospace to marine biology. The marine biology textbook was identified as The Little Golden Book of Fishes.
