Empirical evidence of the importance of teacher quality is mounting, and has sparked a dialogue about the quality of the nation's teaching force. In Tennessee, research by William Sanders has quantified the cumulative effects of even one or two bad teachers on a student. He found substantial differences in student achievement based on the sequence in which a student had particular teachers. Similar studies elsewhere have shown the same results. Perversely, the students who need the very best teachers are the ones most likely to be hurt by the shortfall of quality teachers) For more information visit: http://www.ppionline.org

Extractions: NAEYC Position Statement Adopted July/August 1991 The Association of Teacher Educators (ATE), through its Commission on Early Childhood Teacher Education (ECTE), and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) jointly developed these guidelines to inform decision-makers about certification standards for teachers in programs serving children from birth through eight years of age. The purpose of this document is to ensure that all young children and their families have access to qualified early childhood teachers by guiding teacher educators and policymakers to (1) make informed decisions about early childhood teacher certification, (2) evaluate existing teacher certification standards, and (3) advocate for more appropriate early childhood teacher certification standards. Several hundred early childhood and teacher education professionals participated in developing these guidelines. The following individuals constituted the ATE Commission on Early Childhood Teacher Education and contributed to and guided the development of these guidelines: John M. Johnston, Chairperson; Doris Bergen; Sue Bredekamp; Jim Campbell; Michael D. Davis; Anne Dorsey; Stacie G. Goffin; Marcy Guddemi; Beverly Gulley; Mary Jensen; Michael Kalinowski; Joyce Munro; Steven Silvern; and Bill Dixon, ATE Executive Board Liaison.

Extractions: One of the education establishments biggest dodges of the issue of how to find the best teachers is to tout teacher certification as a kind of failsafe insurance against incompetence. The establishments program for promoting nationwide certification is the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Michigan is wise not to be a big supporter of this program, since recent studies reveal its inability to make a difference where it counts: in the classroom. Posted: Monday, November 04, 2002 Everyone wants competent, effective teachers for Americas schoolchildren. The question is how to go about getting them. One of the biggest dodges of the issue, used primarily by the education establishment, is to tout teacher certification as a kind of failsafe insurance against incompetence. On the national level, the program that professes to confer unassailable legitimacy upon the capabilities of teachers is the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). Formed in 1987, NBPTS has standards for teachers that, it claims, have forged a national consensus on what accomplished teachers know and should be able to do.
ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest., Kreidler, Carol J. New York, Rhode Island, tennessee, Texas, Utah on specific state requirements forcertification can be Blatchford, 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.
