Title:Realizing the promise: How state policy can support alternative certification programs
Source:http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/02/...
Date:2009
Organization:Center for American Progress
Short Description:The question of how policy can drive changes in the quality of the teaching force is complex and yields no easy answers. One increasingly promising strategy is the development of alternative preparation and certification programs. This report examines how state policy can support pathways to alternative certification.
Annotation:A McKinsey & Company analysis of the top performing school systems in the world found that, “The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.” The education community is in virtually unanimous agreement that effective teaching is critical to all other education reform efforts. This consensus has led to an increase in policies focused on improving teacher quality. Yet the question of how policy can drive changes in the quality of the teaching force is complex and yields no easy answers. One increasingly promising strategy is the development of alternative preparation and certification programs. This report examines how state policy can support pathways to alternative certification.
