22. Q & A Teacher Certification in Elementary Education and Secondary Education, 2) The maryland Master's CertificationProgram, 3) Master's Creative Initiatives In teacher Education, and 4 http://www.education.umd.edu/EDCI/info/q&atchred.html

Department of Curriculum and Instruction Questions and Answers about Teacher Education and Certification at The University of Maryland at College Park Q: How can I receive certification to teach in the State of Maryland? Certification to teach in the State of Maryland can be obtained in two ways: 1) Completion of a degree that leads to certification, or 2) completion of credit count certification. Q: What degree programs leading to certification are available at UMCP? The Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Maryland at College Park offers 1) Bachelors' degree programs in Elementary Education and Secondary Education, 2) The Maryland Master's Certification Program, 3) Master's - Creative Initiatives In Teacher Education, and 4) Master's Degree - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Students who do not yet possess a bachelor's degree may transfer to UMCP and complete the undergraduate degree. Students who already have an undergraduate degree in a field other than education may consider completing a second bachelor's degree or one of the Master's programs that lead to certification. Q: What bachelor's degree programs does UMCP offer?

23. Maryland State Teachers Association systems and institutions of higher education, produced 1) a list of Praxis I andPraxis II assessments for use as maryland's teacher certification tests; and 2 http://www.msta.nea.org/praxis_2.html

continued from page 1 THE PRAXIS SERIES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are there any current NTE test areas for which Praxis II content tests will no be available? ETS is phasing out several content tests with low volume. Two of these tests, Speech Communications and Physical Science, are now used in Maryland. Until these tests are phased out in June 2000, candidates will continue to be required to pass them, using the current qualifying scores. Why is elementary education not on the list of new Praxis II assessments? ETS has developed two new assessments for elementary education majors. One test is a content test and includes mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. The other test covers curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Maryland had panels review these two new tests, but ETS has temporarily withdrawn them to make revisions. ETS plans to have them ready for a June 2000 administration. As soon as the tests are ready, a Maryland panel will be convened to review the revised versions, validate the content, and recommend qualifying scores. Meanwhile, the existing NTE elementary education test will continue to be used with the current qualifying score. What has been the process for adopting the new tests in Maryland?

THE PRAXIS SERIES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the Praxis Series? 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. What does the Praxis Series assess? Praxis I assesses teacher candidates' basic reading, writing and mathematics skills. Praxis II assesses knowledge and skills needed for teaching content areas. Praxis II includes subject matter tests and content specific pedagogy tests. How do the Praxis Series tests differ from the NTE? 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. Who will need to take Praxis I?

Provisional Teacher Certification at CSM 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.

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 Maryland’s students — particularly those who are already underserved.
