The National Academy of Higher Education at www.nahighered.org offers this national credential with no testing, just proving you are qualified. You must be presently employed as a teacher, supply two letters of referrence, and have at least two years of professional experience. Even though it is not a governmental credential, a peer review by professional educators is a great addition to their portfolio of qualifications.

Unions, PTA Skeptical of Bush Teacher Certification Plan By Christine Hall CNSNews.com Staff Writer March 19, 2003 (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. State think tanks like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and Oregon's Cascade Policy Institute have derided the typical teacher certification process as "the single greatest barrier that prevents some of the best and brightest people from choosing the teaching profession." 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.

32. Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 11., California and oregon have teacher licensing commissions that are separate fromthe state department of education. Minnesota issues certification information http://ericae.net/edo/ed277685.htm

From the ERIC database Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 11. TEXT: Teacher certification is the education system's process for assuring that public school teachers possess minimum qualifications. Each state determines its own certification standards. Increased mobility among teachers suggests that teacher candidates should have information about general requirements for certification and about where to locate particular state requirements. This digest provides information on certification purpose and types, how to obtain information about requirements, and prospects for change in requirements. THE PURPOSE OF CERTIFICATION Certification is a process by which the state evaluates the credentials of prospective teachers to ensure that they meet the professional standards set by the state education agency. Certification ratifies the quality of teachers' competence in subject area, educational methodology, teaching skills, and potential classroom management ability (Roth and Mastain 1984). Closely linked to certification is state program approval or institutional approval, which is the state's process of evaluating schools, colleges, and departments of education. The purpose of such approval is to ensure a common curriculum framework and professional standards so that the state's teacher education programs produce graduates who meet the state's certification requirements. Some states have developed their own standards for the approval of individual teacher preparation programs; however, the most commonly used standards are those which have been developed by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) and have been in the process of almost constant revision for the past 35 years.
