  • Alternative routes to teacher certification are state-defined routes through which an individual who already has at least a bachelor’s degree can obtain certification to teach without necessarily having to go back to college and complete a college, campus-based teacher education program.

      Definition of alternative licensing.
  • One-third of current state alternative routes to teacher certification have been created since 2000. More than half of them have been established in the last 15 years.

    While this site is another place to sign up for virtual education, it also has a link for research which provides numerous other links to provide reassurance and other information. In my opinion this would be a good place to retract research from.

AL pros and cons

shared by Scott Schnipke on 15 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Unfortunately, most of the research conducted about the relationship between teacher certification and student performance has been inconclusive and, therefore, it is more difficult to cite statistics to prove one side or the other in this debate.
  • A relaxation in teacher certification laws could allow these professionals to enter the education sector more quickly.
  • In the coming years, more and more teachers are planning on retiring and there will be a large deficit in the number of available teachers. Offering alternative routes to teacher certification (such as Teach for America) could encourage more people to pursue a career in education and fill this deficit.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In many private schools, teachers are not required to be certified, but these schools perform as well as or better than public schools where teachers are required to be certified.
  • Certification tests ensure that there is a nationalized or state-wide standard for the teaching profession.
  • Studies have not yet proven that certification requirements are inadequate. Education schooling can instill many important skills in prospective teachers, such as classroom management and lesson plan design.

  • Virtual schools can be divided into three broad categories. These are the independent, collaborative and broadcast models, respectively.

      I think it is a good way to look at virtual schooling and break it down

      It is useful to think about the different opportunities that students can have in their virtual schools. Since the author is looking at different categories that is good so we can learn more about how virtual schools function.
  • "it is no longer necessary to learn from a textbook alone or to follow a set schedule of class time...The classroom walls are taken down and learning is possible anytime the student has access to a computer ...and the Internet".

      even though i like being on the computer i would not want to take school on it. and i think reading a text book stimulates the mind

      Reading on a computer screen can stimulate the mind also, and virtual schools use textbooks too sometimes.

    At the very top of this site it is stated that everything in this article is the author's opinions so things taken from this sight should be used more lightly than others that provide proven facts and statistics.

    Description: This link covers a mix of things - mainly covering the author's feelings. It talks about the future of schooling, why virtual schools are becoming popular, and so on.
