PABS Home Constitution History Steering Committee ... "Box Score" of Species STATE OF THE STATE IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION Paulette Johnson Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education Pennsylvania is one of the most progressive states in the nation in relationship to environmental education (EE) accomplishments. Regulatory and voluntary initiatives complement each other to provide the foundation for a comprehensive and effective educational paradigm that meets the needs and desires of its citizenry. The history of education in Pennsylvania indicates that the citizens value the environmental education components in place and know what is yet to be achieved. The Pennsylvania Department of Education's (PDE) contribution to environmental education is very significant. Pennsylvania is the only state that recognizes "Environment and Ecology" as a rigorous academic core subject. Chapter 5 of the Pennsylvania School Code requires that "Environment and Ecology" be taught each year in a planned course within the elementary grades and at least once at the middle and high school levels. Like all other academic subject areas within the Commonwealth, "Environment and Ecology" may be taught as a separate course or integrated into designated curricula. Recent developments within PDE are providing additional educational opportunities. The department is accountable for student learning and attainment of identified academic standards. Standards for "Environment and Ecology" are currently being developed. Once a standard has been identified, it logically follows that an assessment be conducted to determine if the learner has achieved an appropriate level of understanding. Currently, there are standards testing for reading, writing, and mathematics. These evaluation tools are administered throughout the Commonwealth in an effort to assess student achievement within these subject areas.

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).

Today's Globe Politics Opinion Education ... N.H. State board considers teacher certification alternative By Holly Ramer, Associated Press Writer, 3/17/2004 CONCORD, N.H. The state Board of Education is considering an alternative teacher certification method that would allow people to qualify based solely on a computerized test. ADVERTISEMENT The American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence requires teachers to pass tests in subjects and instruction ability but demands no classroom experience or traditional education coursework. The state Board of Education held a public hearing Wednesday on whether to alter certification requirements to include the new method. Afterward, proponents of the tests held a news conference to explain it. Rep. John Alger, R-Rumney, said the computerized test would help the state comply with the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which will require teachers of core academic subjects to be highly qualified by the end of the 2005-06 school year. Current teachers in rural districts, however, have another year. The alternative certification program will help attract top quality people from other careers into education and ease the teacher shortage, particularly in rural areas, Alger said.
