StarrPoints School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E There's no doubt that experience matters and that hands-on classroom experience is important, but so is knowledge of all the factors involved in teaching young people. Employing the same poorly defined teaching methods over and over again methods that are the result of a lack of knowledge of educational theory and practices does not produce a better teacher. Last week, the Baltimore-based Abell Foundation released a report examining the relationship between Maryland's teacher certification requirements and teacher quality. Maryland as most other states do requires candidates for teacher certification to have taken a certain number and type of education and subject matter courses. In reviewing the results of more than 150 studies conducted over a 50-year period, Abell researchers found "little evidence" that the required courses affected either teacher quality or student achievement.

Extractions: International Employment for Teachers Alternative Certification Many states have developed or are initiating programs that provide alternative routes to teacher certification, particularly for mid-career professionals. The goal of such programs is to draw a diversity of individuals with in-depth subject matter backgrounds into teaching careers. Requirements for an alternative teaching license vary by state. For an overseas position, it does not matter what state your license is from. Generally, applicants must hold a bachelors degree in the subject to be taught, achieve a passing score on state-required examinations, complete an intensive teacher preparation program, and possibly fulfill a supervised teaching internship. Specific information on which school systems are offering internships can be requested from the schools. After satisfactory completion of these requirements, the applicant will be issued a teaching credential.
