Extractions: Media contact: Kay Hyatt at (207) 581-2761 ORONO An enterprising project to address Maine's teacher shortage and provide an alternative certification process is off and running in mid-coast schools through a partnership with the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development. The innovative work of the regional collaboration is also catching the attention of other districts struggling to find, certify and keep qualified teachers. The Mid-Coast Superintendents' Association Partnership, representing approximately 17 school districts from Searsport to Bath, will share information about its new transition-to-teaching pilot with another educational collaborative during a March 27 meeting at UMaine. Coordinators and participants in the Mid-Coast Academy for New and In-Place Educators (The Maine Project) will provide an overview and details of its process with members of the Penobscot River Educational Partnership, a university/public school Professional Development Network. PREP: PDN, a four-year-old partnership is also coming up with creative ways to improve teaching and learning. It consists of UMaine, spearheaded by the College of Education and Human Development, and school districts in Brewer, Bucksport, Old Town, SAD 22 (Hampden, Newburgh, Winterport), Union 87 (Orono, Veazie), Union 90 (Alton, Bradley, Greenbush, Milford), Union 91 (Orland, Orrington), and the Indian Island School.

Extractions: NASBE State Improvement Initiatives , Vol. 4, No. 8 National Association of State Boards of Education Maine's Results-Based Initial Teacher Certification Project In 1992, the Maine State Board of Education joined with the Maine Department of Education, the University of Maine system, and the Maine Leadership Consortium to create a results-based system for initial teacher licensure that would ensure the state's teachers' ability to successfully deliver Maine's "Learning Results" (the name given to the state's student standards) and achieve high-quality student outcomes. The ensuing procedure they devised to develop this new system was unique in that it created university-district collaborative relationships that centrally involved teachers, administrators, teacher educators, parents and members of the community in the development of teacher standards and mechanisms of accountability for teachers in Maine. *** Must be a NASBE member to view full document **

The University of Maine Selected News Release University/School Partners Receive Grant to Expand Alternative Teacher Certification Project Titled the Mid-Coast Academy for In-Place and New Educators (M.A.I.N.E.), the project also helps reduce the isolation and lack of encouragement that contribute to the high rate of attrition among new teachers. Novice teachers share ideas and concerns in supportive cohorts, interact daily with in-house mentor teachers and meet weekly for classes with the project coordinators, who are veteran teachers on leave from participating school districts. Many schools, unable to find licensed teachers, particularly in severe shortage areas such as math, physical science, foreign languages and special education, employ individuals without teaching degrees or certification, but who are knowledgeable and experienced in their field of expertise. These conditionally certified teachers are required by the Maine Department of Education to complete specified education coursework in order to receive initial certification. Hiring conditionally certified teachers in critical shortage areas is becoming more common, and the alternative process is a fruitful way to fill such positions, according to SAD 40 Superintendent William Doughty, who chairs the M.A.I.N.E. Project Board of Directors. SAD 40 (Warren, Waldoboro, Friendship, Union and Washington) sponsored one teacher in the first cohort and has two educators in the second cohort, which got underway in September. The project also serves as an incentive in recruiting teachers who see the extensive support and easily accessible certification process as benefits not available in other districts, according to Doughty.

Extractions: Maine law requires educators who plan, deliver and assess instruction in K-12 public schools to be certified by the Maine Department of Education. Two-year Provisional certificates are awarded to new teachers and educational specialists after they have satisfied course requirements established by the Department of Education and performance requirements established by their teacher education programs, and achieved passing scores on the Praxis exam for teachers. Each Provisional certificate comes with a grade-level or subject area endorsement specifying areas the certificate holder is qualified to teach. Once employed, Provisional certificate holders work with a local mentor or Certification Support Team. Each Provisional educator must complete a Teacher Action Plan within two years and receive the recommendation of the local Certification Support System to advance to the next certificate, a five-year renewable Professional certificate. Teachers and educational specialists are responsible for obtaining the appropriate certification before beginning a teaching assignment, and for renewing the certificate in a timely manner. Renewal requires completion of a five-year Teacher Action Plan developed in collaboration with the local Certification Support System, and six semester hours of course work or the equivalent in professional development activities.

Extractions: Background: President Bush signed legislation authorizing the continuation of Troops to Teachers into law on 8 January 2002. Congress also appropriated $18 million to provide financial assistance to help eligible individuals pay for teacher certification programs or to accept employment as a teacher in a "high needs" school. One of the most significant changes to the eligibility criteria is extending Financial Assistance to members of the National Guard or Reserve with at least 10 years of service who agree to an additional three years of reserve service. Other eligibility categories for financial assistance are outlined below. Referral and Placement Assistance services are extended to those who may not meet eligibility for financial assistance but are members of the Reserve service on or after 8 January 2002. These services include a network of state placement assistance offices that provide information regarding certification requirements, programs leading to certification, and assistance in identifying teaching positions. An Internet Teacher Job Referral service has been established that allows school district administrators to post job vacancies and search the Troops to Teachers database for potential teacher candidates. Anyone may use this site to search for job vacancies. Individuals registered with Troops to Teachers may post a mini-resume to highlight their background and experiences.
