The Program is modeled after medical internships and requires students to serve as classroom interns during the day while completing the requirements for six courses at night over two semesters. A rather costly affair, according to Chester Finn, Jr. of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, given that the internships are unpaid. To their credit, they are exploring paid optionsbut do they really need six education courses?

This is due in no small part to the certification regulations which went into effect on September 2, 1993 as well as the changes recently adopted by the Regents that go into effect in September 2004. This Bulletin describes those regulations which are currently in place. The purpose of this Information Bulletin is to summarize the information most commonly sought by members and local leaders. Please bear in mind that this Information Bulletin is for INFORMATION ONLY , and is not to be considered as an official interpretation of the rules and regulations of the Commissioner. Official answers on the interpretation of certification regulations and certification status can only be obtained from the Office of Teaching of the State Education Department (see sidebar for contact information). HIGHLIGHTS Certification may be achieved in six ways: through the completion of an approved program; through individual assessment of a candidate's educational background; through Interstate Agreements, including the Northeast Regional Credential; through completion of a new alternative certification program, and new regulations for out-of-state teachers.

The first level features an undergraduate degree, with a major in the arts and sciences, or an undergraduate degree with at least 60 credit hours in liberal arts courses. Eligible USM undergraduates may choose an 18-credit hour minor in educational studies. The second level offers a graduate program in education, which combines teacher certification with opportunities for continued studies culminating in a masters degree. The initial phase of the graduate program, the internship year, includes the professional education coursework and field experiences needed to qualify prospective teachers for certification in the state of Maine. Upon successful completion of the internship year and meeting criteria for continued study, students have the option of completing a masters of science in education degree. The internship phase of ETEP consists of 33 to 36 credits of graduate coursework. Applicants are accepted as interns at the elementary, middle or secondary levels. Middle and secondary level interns may teach English, foreign languages, mathematics, physical and/or life sciences, or social studies.

The Story Of State-Mandated Mentoring In Maine maine . in July 1988 a state Beginning teacher Induction Program (BTIP) was providedto support other state legislation on changes in teacher certification. http://www.teachermentors.com/MCenter Site/StateStories/Maine.html
Extractions: Maine - Return to the "What's Happening in the States?" Page - Updated on March 14, 1998 Maine In an act passed in July a state Beginning Teacher Induction Program (BTIP) was provided to support other state legislation on changes in teacher certification. Beginning Teacher's receive a two year provisional certificate and must participate in the local district's Beginning Teacher Induction Program Induction Program. The BTIP provides new teacher support through a "support team" which works with the new teacher to develop a Teacher Action Plan and to provide professional development to support the implementation of the plan. At the end of the two year probationary time, this team must also evaluate the new teacher to decide whether to recommend the teacher for upgrading to the "Professional Certificate". How the beginning teacher as actually evaluated is not defined by the state, but rather is a decision of each district. In the BTIP was still in operation but requirements had been relaxed concerning the mandated use of a support team. Now use of an individual mentor teacher alone was deemed sufficient and was allowed as an option for local districts to consider. If you are aware of incorrect statements in this material OR if you can add authoritative new information concerning mentoring and induction in the various United States, please contact Barry Sweeny with that information.
