Usable Knowledge: No teacher left behind? Good news and bad about new routes to becomin... - 1 views

  • Alternative certification programs started in the mid-1980s to respond to the teacher shortage.
  • Participants identified five primary areas of concern. Participants commonly felt that they were not adequately prepared to teach the subject for which they were seeking licensure. Participants did not feel that they understood how to teach low-income students of color, who were commonly the students they encountered in their first teaching jobs. Clinical experiences typically involved teaching in a summer school setting. Participants found it difficult to find teaching experiences that were subject-appropriate and mentors who were willing and able to guide them. Statewide programs had the most trouble securing timely jobs for participants due to their lack of partnerships with local school districts. Participants were particularly disappointed about this, as they often viewed the prospect of a secured job as an incentive of their chosen program. Many participants felt they did not receive strong follow-up support on the job, from their fellow teachers and principal.

SoYouWanna be a teacher? - 1 views

  • What we're trying to say is that being a teacher is a wonderful responsibility, not just an avenue for getting two weeks off at Christmas so you can jet off to the Bahamas. You won't be able to afford it on a teacher's salary anyway.
  • But wait… there's more. You'll have to do a lot more than make lesson plans when you get into the classroom. Along with the pure teaching of classes, teachers at all levels must also:Grade testsHold conferences with parentsAttend school meetingsFor extra pay, teachers often lead extracurricular activities (such as the school play or the Senior Yearbook)

  • Think about whether you want to teach in a specific setting

      As of right now there are not many job opportunities for those in education. We may have a preference of where we want to teach, but in reality we may have to travel somewhere else to live and find a job until those jobs arrive where we want our dream job to be.

Alternative teacher certification programs debated - 2 views

  • Meanwhile, both the percentage and number of American college graduates obtaining education degrees has dropped considerably over the last 35 years and Arizona's three public universities are not projected to produce enough teaching candidates to fill the increasing state need

      This is important as a pro for AL, but this only referes to the state of Arizona....some states need teachers which makes AL a good solution, but others don't need this option when there are very few teaching jobs and too many collage graduates who majored in education.
  • Arizona's students deserve quality public schools with knowledgeable, well-prepared teacher
  • Research shows that teacher quality is the single most important school-related variable affecting student achievement.

      we could use this to go against AL
