[Advising Guide] American Studies Anthropology Art ... Courses by Subject Education Division of Social Sciences , Chair Anna M. Donnelly Jack Hamilton Rachel Scholz Michelle Johnson The Teacher Education Program is characterized by a highly nurturing and personalized environment, intellectual rigor, and a performance milieu within a liberal arts context. Education is not a subject major. As the department is a member of the Social Sciences Division, the foundational sequence courses (Principles of Education and Educational Psychology) can fulfill distribution requirements in the social sciences. The department seeks: a) to provide the professional preparation for certification required by the State Department of Education in Maryland and the many states with whom Maryland has reciprocal certification agreements; b) to explore the social, psychological, philosophical, and historical foundations of education in our society; and c) to stimulate inquiry concerning the nature of our educational institutions. The department, recognizing that the world of schooling is a primary socializing agency for the American polity, has the further aim of inviting students to inquire into the nature of education and its relationship to their future lives as citizens, parents, or educators.

By Melanie Burney Inquirer Staff Writer WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP French teacher Catherine Russo is a novelty in her Gloucester County district. She is the only Washington Township educator to achieve national board certification and one of just 46 in New Jersey. In Pennsylvania, 47 teachers hold the honor. Russo, who teaches seventh and eighth graders at Chestnut Ridge Middle School, was certified in 1997 by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. "It's probably the most productive form of professional development I've ever done," said Russo, a teacher for 12 years. While national certification has been embraced by educators across the country, it has been slow to catch on in New Jersey. Nationwide, more than 16,000 teachers have received the certification. A new group will be named next month from among 20,000 candidates.

44. Assessment For National Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 7-88., Baron, Barbara (p. 1) washington, DC Office of Educational Research and Improvement, US Departmentof Education. Title Assessment for National teacher certification. http://ericae.net/edo/ed316545.htm

From the ERIC database Assessment for National Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest 7-88. Baron, Barbara The concept of teacher testing has gained wide acceptance, as reflected in its extension to 48 states. All but Alaska and Iowa are in the process of, or have already implemented some form of mandatory teacher testing, as of April 1987 (Rudner, 1987). The limitations of state procedures, i.e., different standards, approaches and requirements (McCaleb, 1987), combined with significant improvement in evaluation techniques have led to the call for a system of national assessment. The Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy, convened for the purpose of improving education and teaching, responded to the need for national criteria by launching the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards in 1987. Changes initiated by the Board are expected to transform teaching (albeit gradually) from an undervalued, underpaid profession to one enjoying higher standards, better salaries, and prestige. Teacher education, in the process, would be enhanced as pedagogical institutions consider, and respond to the requirements of a national criterion. WHAT WILL NATIONAL CERTIFICATION MEAN?

45. ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest., Kreidler, Carol J. specific state requirements for certification can be Blatchford, CH DIRECTORY OFTEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS washington, DC Teachers of English to Speakers http://ericae.net/edo/ed276306.htm

From the ERIC database ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. 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.

Why College Presidents Need to Support Teacher Education One of the most important goals for college presidents is building robust institutions where students thrive on the challenge of serious study. This cannot happen if high schools have not prepared students for the rigor of college work. In turn, the performance of high school students depends upon how well earlier grades have provided the foundation for academic studies. This interlocking relationship from kindergarten through college invites constructive dialogue and thoughtful debate among all who believe that education is vital to improving the quality of life of our nation. This continuum is the backbone of excellence in American education. In the United States, the training of teachers was originally the responsibility of the normal school, the junior college, and schools of education housed within state colleges and universities. Their contributions to the education of our young people have been substantial. Even as we acknowledge the concept of the educational continuum, we must understand that preparing teachers for primary and secondary education has an impact on the preparedness of the students we admit to our colleges and universities. We also must recognize that preparing teachers includes providing both deep knowledge of the subject matter they will teach and the skills necessary to communicate that knowledge. Viewed from this perspective, teacher education is a campus-wide activity. Rarely do teacher education students receive their entire undergraduate education within the school of education. Rather, students take a good portion of their courses outside the school of education, generally in the liberal arts and sciences. Depending upon state requirements, many of these students major in a discipline in addition to completing a program for teacher certification.

Teaching Jobs Overseas International Employment for Teachers Teaching Jobs Overseas Topics: international teaching, teaching overseas, teaching abroad, American and international schools, overseas jobs, international employment, etc. 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.
