Extractions: The American Board introduces a new approach to teacher certification. By offering nationally recognized teaching credentials to those who would like to enter the teaching field as well as to experienced teachers, the American Board represents a new standard for the highly qualified teacher — a standard that fulfills the federal definition of "highly qualified." Passport Certification is available to prospective teachers and Master Teacher Certification is available to veteran teachers. On April 15, 2003 Kathleen Madigan will appear on "Education News Parents Can Use", a television series sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education about ways to ensure children's educational success. The broadcast, entitled "Ensuring Every Child has a Highly Qualified Teacher", will focus on how parents can find out if their child's teacher is highly qualified. Dr. Madigan will discuss her article " Five Ways to Know if Your Child Has a High Quality Teacher ". To register for this event

Extractions: Concord, NH qualified No Child Left Behind Act. So I am pleased to be here today to discuss this issue with you and your colleagues. While I am honored to be the President of the American Board, Im also very proud to be a teacher. I've been a teacher and educator for over 20 years, and I've done my share of negotiating the certification systems necessary to get my certification and then renew that certification on a regular basis. Believe me, I can understand why would-be teachers are eager to find new routes to certification. And I can also understand why you and other states are eager to find new ways to give such routes to them. No Child Left Behind NCLB states that, in order to be considered highly qualified, teachers need to demonstrate subject matter mastery. In New Hampshire, potential teachers are asked to do this by passing two exams, known as Praxis I and Praxis II. Each state sets the minimum passing score that it will accept on these exams. According to a USDOE report, New Hampshire requires that all individuals seeking a teaching license must pass Praxis I (the basic reading, writing, and math test) to demonstrate proficiency. Praxis I assesses skills at about the 8th grade level at the 30th percentile. Is that considered highly qualified? Perhaps. Should we be asking more of our teachers? Definitely.

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.

Extractions: News Home Today's News Yesterday's News Unions, PTA Skeptical of Bush Teacher Certification Plan (CNSNews.com) - Despite skepticism from teacher unions and other interest groups, the Bush administration is developing national teacher certification standards to encourage states to get skilled industry professionals into the teaching profession, end teacher shortages and fulfill the goals of the president's No Child Left Behind Act, which calls for reducing barriers and increasing standards for entering the teaching field. The American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence, a non-profit group created in Sept. 2001 and funded by the U.S. Department of Education, is drafting the standards, which will be based in part on a core set of existing state standards. Pennsylvania has already decided to adopt the board's standards, and the New Hampshire legislature is now considering a bill to treat board-granted certification as equivalent to the state's own.

NEA New Hampshire The first new hampshire teacher examinations were given in 1896 to 39 candidates,31 of whom passed. teacher certification did not become a state requirement http://www.neanh.org/About Us/history.html
Extractions: In 1846 the state of New Hampshire passed legislation creating a commissioner of common schools. This legislation marked the beginning of organized public education in the state. Under the guidance of the commissioner, teacher institutes were inaugurated. These institutes brought teachers together over a period of a day or two to discuss common issues and listen to speakers on a variety of educational Back to Topics. Since most teachers at the time had very little training, the meetings were valuable because they enabled teachers, usually isolated in single-room schoolhouses, to share their problems and offer one another support. By 1853 the institutes had become very popular and teachers were beginning to develop a sense of professionalism. At that year's meeting a suggestion was made that a state association for teachers be formed. The next year an invitation was issued to teachers throughout the state. It read in part: It is hoped and expected to give birth to an association that may exist and do good as long as teachers and taught have one duty left, one bond of interest to unite them . . . In the association no party stripes or sectarian division can enter. Its platform will be as broad as science, humanity, and truth.

ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest., Kreidler, Carol J. Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, new hampshire, new Jersey,new Mexico, new York, Rhode CH DIRECTORY OF teacher PREPARATION PROGRAMS http://ericae.net/edo/ed276306.htm
Extractions: From the ERIC database Kreidler, Carol J. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers must have special preparation to teach English to non-native speakers; being a fluent speaker or an effective teacher of English to native speakers is not enough. Just as teaching mathematics or French requires special knowledge and skills, teaching English as a Second Language does also. This Digest outlines some of the relevant issues concerning ESL teacher certification: profiles of students needing ESL instruction, reasons for considering certification, academic preparation needed to teach ESL, and a description of state requirements for certification. WHO NEEDS AN ESL TEACHER? Estimates based on the 1980 Census indicate that in 1980-81 at least three-and-a-half million school-age children in the United States lacked the English language skills needed to succeed in school. These children, whose native language is not English, generally fall into two groups. The first, limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, speak, understand, and may read and write English, but not well enough to keep up academically with their native English-speaking peers. The second group, non-English-speaking (NES) students, do not speak or understand English and may have no literacy skills in their native language. This factor complicates attempts to teach them English.
