    Local education agency-based. A large number of local public schools and school districts have created their own virtual schools, mainly to serve their own supplemental or alternative education needs and to reach out to home school populations. They usually employ their own regular certified K-12 teachers, either within the regular course of instruction, or "on the side." - Creating their own online schools may be beneficial for some people in the school district because some students get bullied however don't want to move. Also allows the school district to keep the test scores of those students who choose to do online schooling.

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.

  • The program enables individuals to begin teaching while continuing to work toward the requirements of the provisional educator license, which is the standard license in Ohio.
    • Spencer Genson
      Spencer Genson on 20 Sep 11
       
      This shows that alternative teachers must continue to work towards the requirements neceassry to teach in the state of Ohio.
  • If you are applying for licensure in social studies, integrated language arts or integrated science, you will need to have 60 credit hours of coursework in the content area. In some cases, work experience may substitute for courses.
    • Spencer Genson
      Spencer Genson on 20 Sep 11
       
      60 hours of course work would be very beneficial. I also like the idea of exchanging work experience for course credit. I think that the work experience should have to be in the field of education.
  • This instruction must include supervised field experience

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.

      Spencer Genson on 20 Sep 11
       
      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
