      This is interesting because on ivirtual webiste it stated that there would be extra costs to those who chose virtual education.
  • Parents are told what and how to teach, and must adhere to the approved curriculum, school schedule and state standards.

      This is important to note because not all parents have the ability to help their children with homework let alone be like a teacher to them for virtual schooling.

      Aren't there some options for virtual schools that don't make the parents be teachers? Can they learn by watching a teacher live or other methods?

      There may be video's for parents to watch on how to teach their children but those techniques are not always helpful to their child because the child may not meet the learned objective or goal that is set for them.

      Homeschooling has many issues that people talk about anyway, so virtual schooling is even more of an issue because students do not even have to speak with their parents, it is all online. This is something that I think the author should think about.

  • 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.

    Description: This link is a summary of 'distance' education and shows how it has changed school for the student and for the teacher.
  • Victoria Zuber on 22 Sep 11
     
    Beaudoin recognized that faculty would have to adjust monitoring and evaluating the work of geographically distant learners rather than transmit information in person (Beaudoin, 1990) - I can see how contacting students for a teacher would be difficult when you could have students in different states for the same class. Along with the fact that technology can be very temperamental so you can't always rely on it.

      I think this is a great statement, which means it will change how education is formed
  • Virtual charter schools also eliminate social and behavioral issues that are prevalent at public schools, especially at the high school level
    • Samantha Smith

      This may be true but virtual schooling is not going to change the attitude of the students
    • Kayla Geiger
      Kayla Geiger on 22 Sep 11
       
      I think this point is a good point for the Author to bring up. This makes me think the author really cares about students. However social issues are a large issues for school who aren't doing virtual schooling let alone schools that are. The internet is changing how students communicate, which is changing relationships in schools.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      Can you really know if it will or won't change the attitude of the student? It could be argued that the influence of peers in the school setting does have an enormous effect on a person's personality or attitude.
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      Though virtual charter schools may eliminate social and behavior issues that are prevalent at the public schools the students will be unable to form friendships with other students that come with attending public schools. Also this may be easier for them to learn in an environment that they are comfortable with.

  • 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.

      The person does not have to complete student teaching, which I think is essential to a teacher's experience. Student teaching provides individuals with learning experiences that will help them in their career as a teacher. People who do not have this experience are lacking some serious educational experience.
  • Candidates must be employed full-time and teach a minimum of 51 percent in the approved content area

AL Overview

shared by Scott Schnipke on 15 Sep 11 - Cached
  • What officially began in the early 1980s as ways to ward off projected shortages of teachers, alternative routes to teacher certification have become major players in the production of highly qualified teachers.
  • Clearly, alternative routes to teaching are bringing non-traditional populations of people into the teaching profession who want to help young people develop and teach where the demands for teachers are greatest.
  • Few innovations in American education have spawned more controversy and debate than the alternative teacher certification movement, and few have ultimately resulted in more positive changes.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The most significant variable in driving the alternative teacher certification movement forward is this changing market for teaching.
  • Good alternative teacher certification programs are market-driven. The programs are designed specifically to meet the demand for teachers in geographic areas and in subject areas where the demand for teachers is greatest. Prospective teachers are recruited to meet those specific demands
  • Nearly all of the states now have some type of alternative to going back to college and majoring in education in order to become a teacher.
  • The bottom line is the nation is hiring -- and is projected to need to hire -- approximately 45,000 newly minted teachers per year.
  • While criticisms of alternative teacher certification continue among a small band of educational researchers, the criticisms are based more on lack of definition, faulty data and biases than on actual facts.
  • The bottom line is there is a demand for high quality teachers in certain subject areas in select parts of this country. There is a huge population of non-traditional candidates -- life experienced adults from many walks of life -- who want to meet that demand.
  • Alternative routes to teacher certification are having a major impact on many aspects of the teaching occupation in the United States. More men, more non-whites, more mature, life-experienced, educated individuals are teaching in the nation’s K-12 schools as a result of a proliferation of alternative routes to teacher certification throughout the country.

  • 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)
