83. National Charter School Clearinghouse Newsletter-Teacher Certification Debate Recent studies in Texas and alabama support the teacher effectiveness is one of thegreatest predictors The limiting regimen of the certification process keeps http://www.ncsc.info/newsletter/February_2002/tc_debate.htm

The Teacher Certification Debate Charter school administrators disagree on the auspiciousness of hiring certified teachers to staff their classrooms. While certification is no guarantee of teacher effectiveness, expertise in a specific subject area does not automatically qualify one as a competent educator. Part of the problem with traditional certification programs is their focus on outputs (credentials) rather than outcomes (student achievement). Angus and Mirel discuss the increasing dissatisfaction with traditional certification programs that not only emphasize pedagogy over subject knowledge, but also are unnecessarily cumbersome. They conclude that “what the country needs is teachers who are broadly and deeply educated, not people who mostly studied education.” Additionally, there is no guarantee that certified teachers perform better than those who are not certified. However, despite the limitations of the certification process and regardless of the fact that certification does not ensure student achievement, some charter schools seek to hire certified personnel. Many schools chartered through a public district have no alternative. Another reason for this practice is that accrediting agencies view certification status as one of the criteria used to award accreditation. While cognizant of the fact that certification programs are less than perfect, teacher unions and other factions not only support certification requirements but also favor more rigorous standards. They argue that educators must know more than subject matter. They assert that in order to effectively share their expertise, teachers must also be knowledgeable in the areas of child development, learning strategies, cognitive theory, assessment, and classroom management.

Teacher Test Accountability: From Alabama to Massachusetts Larry H. Ludlow Associate Professor Boston College Lynch School of Education Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation Department Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2001,9 (6). http://epaa.asu.edu/epaa/v9n6.html Acknowledgment : I wish to thank Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Walt Haney, Joseph Herlihy, Craig Kowalski, George Madaus, and Diana Pullin for their advice and editorial comments. Teacher Test Accountability: From Alabama to Massachusetts Abstract Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing . Unfortunately, however, there is no public or private business or governmental agency that serves to certify or in any other formal way declare that any teacher test does, in fact, meet the psychometric recommendations stipulated in the Standards. Consequently, there are no legislated penalties for faulty products (tests) nor are there opportunities for test takers simply to raise questions about a test and to have their questions taken seriously by an impartial panel. The purpose of this article is to highlight some of the psychometric results reported by National Evaluation Systems (NES) in their 1999 Massachusetts Educator Certification Test (MECT) Technical Report , and more specifically, to identify those technical characteristics of the MECT that are inconsistent with the Standards . A second purpose of this article is to call for the establishment of a standing test auditing organization with investigation and sanctioning power. The significance of the present analysis is twofold: a) psychometric results for the MECT are similar in nature to psychometric results presented as evidence of test development flaws in an Alabama class-action lawsuit dealing with teacher certification (an NES-designed testing system); and b) there was no impartial enforcement agency to whom complaints about the Alabama tests could be brought, other than the court, nor is there any such agency to whom complaints about the Massachusetts tests can be brought. I begin by reviewing NES’s role in

By Melanie Burney Inquirer Staff Writer WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP French teacher Catherine Russo is a novelty in her Gloucester County district. She is the only Washington Township educator to achieve national board certification and one of just 46 in New Jersey. In Pennsylvania, 47 teachers hold the honor. Russo, who teaches seventh and eighth graders at Chestnut Ridge Middle School, was certified in 1997 by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. "It's probably the most productive form of professional development I've ever done," said Russo, a teacher for 12 years. While national certification has been embraced by educators across the country, it has been slow to catch on in New Jersey. Nationwide, more than 16,000 teachers have received the certification. A new group will be named next month from among 20,000 candidates.
