Extractions: Praxis is a new series of teacher assessments for initial teacher certification, developed by Education Testing Service (ETS). In 1987, Maryland began requiring certification tests for candidates seeking an initial teaching certificate using the National Teachers Examination (NTE). ETS intends to retire, by June 2000, most of the test known as NTE that many states have been using, replacing them with the Praxis series assessments. The NTE had one test for each content area, and all assessments consisted of multiple choice items. The Praxis Series tests often have several modules for each content area, and many include constructed response items, as well as multiple choice. While the NTE had one general pedagogy test, Praxis has many content specific pedagogy tests and a new generic pedagogy test, Principles of Learning and Teaching: Grades 7-12.

Extractions: Questions and Answers back updated: 12/07/02 What is the Provisional Teacher Certification Program? There are many avenues that you can follow toward certification as a teacher. One way is through the Provisional Certificate, which is issued at the request of a local superintendent of schools. Boards of Education sometimes hire people in areas of special need. You must meet certain requirements, including, a Bachelor's degree and a major concentration, or 36 credits in a content area like math or biology, for example. CSM's current program is designed to help people who want to become certified through the Provisional Teacher route. What do I have to do to participate? The first step to begin the process is to take a test of basic skills called Praxis I. You must take this test before the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) will evaluate your transcript. Then you can have your transcript evaluated by MSDE. This evaluation identifies the courses that you need to take in order to become eligible for your Standard Professional Certificate I. Mail your transcript to: MSDE, Division of Certification and Accreditation, 200 West Baltimore St., Baltimore, MD, 21201 Their web address is: www.

A personalized and strong advising system allows students continuous access to consultation at all stages of their program. Coursework in specific content areas and methods differs according to the area of certification. An internship consisting of field experience and student teaching concludes the certification coursework. Internships are completed in a professional development school and include performance based portfolio assessment. Loyola College collaborates with various elementary, middle, and high schools to provide the intern with an intensive two-phase experience. Over the course of one year, elementary certification interns complete two experiences, one in grades 1-3 and the other in grades 4-8. Secondary certification interns complete two experiences, one in grades 6-8 and the other in grades 9-12. Courses may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.

NCTAF - Whats New Reconsidered a public response to teacher certification Reconsidered Stumblingfor Quality, published by the Baltimore, marylandbased Abell Foundation. http://www.nctaf.org/whatsnew/abell_release.htm
Extractions: REFUTES ABELL FOUNDATION REPORT October 15, 2001 (New York, NY ) The National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) has released The Research and Rhetoric on Teacher Certification: A Response to "Teacher Certification Reconsidered" a public response to Teacher Certification Reconsidered: Stumbling for Quality , published by the Baltimore, Maryland-based Abell Foundation. The Abell paper, authored by Kate Walsh, seeks to dismiss every major study done over the past four decades that supports a link between teacher education or certification and teacher quality, as well as the relationship of teacher education to student achievement. Walsh specifically argues for the elimination of certification for teachers in Maryland and against efforts to boost the supply of certified teachers in Baltimore, where large numbers of students are taught by uncredentialed staff. According to Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond, executive director of NCTAF, the evidence suggests that this approach would be sure to negatively impact Marylands students particularly those who are already underserved.
