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.

Extractions: Major accomplishments on the teaching quality agenda: Oklahoma has established an independent standards board, the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation (OCTP) . This commission became fully operational and funded on July 1, 1997 after six years as a policy and planning group. The enabling legislation required the OCTP to develop a competency-based teacher preparation system; develop a rigorous new assessment system for new teachers; and develop a system of professional development institutes for teachers to enhance the subject matter competencies and teaching skills of teachers throughout their careers. To support the new program accreditation system, the OCTP has accomplished the following: Revised teacher education program standards to reflect national and state goals for improving teacher performance. Trained more than 200 members of the Oklahoma education community to conduct joint accreditation site visits using NCATE and State standards. Training is now in progress to retrain all commission members as well as a cadre of individuals for site visits using the new NCATE 2000 performance standard.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Improving America's Schools: Newsletter on Issues in School Reform - May 1996 Just as states, districts, and educational associations are beginning to rethink professional development strategies to support school improvement, they are also trying to reform preservice preparation programs and teacher certification standards. They have been exploring better ways to prepare new teachers, certify experienced teachers, and provide ongoing professional development to practicing educators. Many organizations-including schools, universities, and national educator groups-have created professional development schools that fit the continuing needs of teachers, from their preservice period to after many years of practice. In addition, educators, professional organizations, private foundations, and others have established a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards that can certify and recognize exceptional, experienced teachers. The professional development school framework encourages simultaneous restructuring of K-12 schools and colleges of education. Professional development schools provide clinical settings that prepare novice teachers to succeed in real schools and communities. Like medical students who serve an internship in hospitals, novice teachers learn to apply their coursework to the everyday challenges of actual teaching. The schools also provide ongoing professional development for experienced teachers and university faculty.

Extractions: Performance Assessment Click here for .pdf Section 207 of Title II of the Higher Education Act mandates that the U.S. Department of Education collect data on state assessments, other requirements, and standards for teacher certification and licensure, as well as data on the performance of teacher preparation programs. The law requires the Secretary to use these data in submitting an annual report on the quality of teacher preparation to the Congress. Upon admission to the Teacher Education Program, candidates may begin taking courses that give them basic teaching skills and necessary professional knowledge. Student teaching is the last phase of the teacher preparation program. During this phase, candidates are placed in the classroom for twelve weeks. In 1999-2000, OBU had 59 student teachers placed in various public schools in the surrounding area. Student teachers are supervised by full-time and part-time faculty. During the 1999-2000 school year, these 59 student teachers were supervised by 38 full-time and 21 part-time faculty. The State of Oklahoma requires teacher candidates to pass a minimum of three competency-based assessments and develop a portfolio documenting their knowledge and skill levels. This portfolio provides a description of the activities in which the teacher candidate has been involved as a part of the teacher preparation process. The competency-based assessments, which were fully implemented in September 1999, include:

Extractions: HB 318 would allow anyone with a bachelor's degree to receive a teaching certificate after passing only the content portion of the ExCET/TExES. Currently, to be certified in Texas, an applicant must pass both a content exam and a pedagogy exam. HB 318 does not require any training or testing of teaching skills. HB 318 has been referred to the Public Education committee but has not yet been heard. HB 684 overhauls the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) entirely. Among the provisions of HB 684 are measures that would end the State Board of Educations (SBOE) oversight of SBEC rules, and in exchange, allows the SBOE to appoint two individuals, possibly SBOE members, to serve on the SBEC. HB 684 also contains a provision that would reduce the number of teachers on the SBEC to three and the number of public members to four. HB 684 also requires the SBEC to perform criminal history checks on applicants for school district teaching permits and requires state and national criminal history checks of all applicants. The applicants would pay the costs of these checks.
