Extractions: (October 1, 2001) CPS CEO Duncan Proposes New Teacher Certification Policy CHICAGO - Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan will propose a new policy to the Chicago Board of Education that will help ensure fully certified, quality teachers are in every CPS classroom, teaching in their respective areas of specialization. The new proposal places a two-year limit on the amount of time a teacher can teach before being required to pass the Illinois basic skills and content (subject matter area) tests. There would be a three-year limit for bilingual and special education teachers to achieve full certification, due to additional course requirements and federal guidelines. Teachers who fail to pass these tests within the specified timeframe would no longer be eligible to teach in Chicago public schools. "The Board of Education is very supportive of measures that will ensure that our students have the best and the brightest teachers in the classroom," said Michael Scott, president of the Chicago Board of Education. "We look forward to receiving this proposal and I anticipate the Board's full support of the CEO's recommendations."

The cost reduction is made possible through additional Chicago Public Schools funding. After participating in an intensive summer training and classroom experience program which begins in June, 2001, participants will enter a classroom of their own at standard first year teacher salary. Throughout the program, participants work with Golden Apple Award-winning mentors and other extraordinary teachers. The GATE program is a one year alternative route to standard Illinois teacher certification. GATE is a partnership among the Golden Apple Foundation, Northwestern University and the Chicago Public Schools. Deadline for applying for the program is February 1, 2001.
