Report: Teacher certification overhaul needed
WASHINGTON (AP) Complaining that many states have unusually low standards for teacher certification, Education Secretary Rod Paige said states should pay teachers more but also should expect them to master the subjects they teach. Paige, set to release a report on teacher certification Tuesday, said states also should remove licensing barriers that keep "good people from coming into the teaching profession." He urged states to support alternative licensing programs such as Troops to Teachers and Teach for America. "We're asking to raise academic standards, to require prospective teachers to pass rigorous exams in their subject matter ... and to lower the barrier so good people who have these high standards can get into the teaching profession," Paige said in an interview. He supports higher salaries but said they should be tied to better performance "so that we're paying those highly qualified teachers more."

Alternative Teacher Certification
An Overview
February 1998
by C. Emily Feistritzer The alternative teacher certification movement rose out of a need for more and better teachers. Faced with the threat of teacher shortages and concern about the quality of the teaching force, states have stepped forward to meet the demand. They have developed new avenues whereby people could come into the teaching profession. These alternative teacher certification routes provide opportunities for people from various educational backgrounds and walks of life to become teachers. They have opened doors to teaching for persons from other careers, from the military, from liberal arts colleges, former teachers who want to upgrade their credentials and get back into teaching and for people who trained to teach years ago but never did. The National Center for Education Information (NCEI) has been polling the state departments of education annually since 1983 regarding teacher education and certification. We have found a rapid development of alternative routes at the state level. By 1997, 41 states, plus the District of Columbia, report having some type of alternative teacher certification program. States report a total of 117 programs now available for persons who already have a bachelor's degree and want to become licensed to teach. It is estimated that more than 75,000 persons have been licensed through such state-run programs. Thousands more are being licensed to teach who are participating in college alternative teacher preparation programs. Other findings of NCEI's 1997 survey of the states regarding alternative teacher certification:

"Alexander has done a service to the subject by insistently treating each act as involving the whole integrated individual...To take a step is an affair not of this or that limb solely but of the total neuromuscular activity of the moment..."

Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine
"As one goes on, new areas are opened, new possibilities are seen and then realized; one finds himself continually growing, and realizes that there is an endless process of growth initiated."
-American Philosopher John Dewey on his 35-year study of the Alexander Technique.

"Mr. Alexander's method lays hold of the individual as a whole, as a self-vitalizing agent."
-Professor G.E. Coghill
Author of Anatomy and the Problem of Human Behavior Developing easy and efficient coordination is a process that can require changing the habits of a lifetime. Over a hundred years ago, F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955) created an exceptional technique for making these in-depth changes. Learning Alexander's Technique can have profound benefits for the quality of life of the student, from alleviating chronic pain and excess tension to developing a greater understanding of self. Alexander Technique teacher training continues and intensifies the unique learning experience that takes place in private lessons. The training is a fascinating process that is often one of remarkable growth and improvement for the teacher-trainee.
