Development of the Guidelines Several hundred early childhood and teacher education professionals participated in developing these guidelines. The following individuals constituted the ATE Commission on Early Childhood Teacher Education and contributed to and guided the development of these guidelines: John M. Johnston, Chairperson; Doris Bergen; Sue Bredekamp; Jim Campbell; Michael D. Davis; Anne Dorsey; Stacie G. Goffin; Marcy Guddemi; Beverly Gulley; Mary Jensen; Michael Kalinowski; Joyce Munro; Steven Silvern; and Bill Dixon, ATE Executive Board Liaison.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: May 7, 2002 Contact: Kim Sharpe, 303-299-3680 e-Mail: ksharpe@ecs.org FAX: 303-296-8332 ECS Web Site: www.ecs.org ECS To Assemble Independent Panel To Review Study That Criticizes National Teaching Standards Denver, CO — The Education Commission of the States (ECS), a bipartisan, nonprofit education policy organization, is calling for a review of a study published by the Education Consumers Consultants Network, based in Johnson City, Tennessee, that sharply criticizes the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). The study questions whether Tennessee teachers who have received NBPTS’ advanced teacher certification are worth the extra salary they earn. The report says that t he achievement gains made by students of NBPTS-certified teachers are no greater than those made by students with average teachers and that none of the NBPTS teachers would qualify for bonuses offered to exemplary teachers in some of Tennessee’s school districts. The study looked at 16 of Tennessee’s 40 teachers with NBPTS certification.

As a result, Tennessee is last among Southern states in the number of teachers who have earned National Board certification. In 2003, just 28 teachers were certified, bringing the state's total to 91. In Georgia, 513 teachers earned certification from the National Board during 2003, bringing that state's total to 1,321. Georgia is ranked seventh nationally and fifth among Southern states. Alabama is ranked 10th nationally with 633 board-certified teachers. Linda Cheek, a third-grade teacher at Ingleside Elementary in Athens, became the only teacher in the Athens City School District to become certified when she completed the rigorous process in 1998.
