Book Assessing Accomplished Teaching

Download or read book Assessing Accomplished Teaching written by National Research Council and published by . This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is to establish "high and rigorous standards for what teachers should know and be able to do, to certify teachers who meet those standards, and to advance other education reforms for the purpose of improving student learning in American schools." In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council developed a framework for evaluating programs that award advanced-level teacher certification and applied that framework in an evaluation of the impacts of the NBPTS. Specifically, this book addresses the impacts on students, teachers, and the educational system in this country. Assessing Accomplished Teaching finds that teachers who earn board certification are more effective at improving their students' achievement than other teachers, but school systems vary greatly in the extent to which they recognize and make use of board-certified teachers. Many of the questions on the evaluation framework could not be answered because the data have not been collected, and the report makes recommendations for the kinds of research that are needed to fully evaluate the impacts of board certification by the NBPTS.

  • Publisher : National Academies Press
  • Release : 2001-10-19
  • ISBN : 0309171067
  • Pages : 472 pages

Download or read book Testing Teacher Candidates written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-19 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates.

Book The Effects of Teachers Trained Through Different Routes to Certification  NCEE Evaluation Brief  NCEE 2009 4070

Download or read book The Effects of Teachers Trained Through Different Routes to Certification NCEE Evaluation Brief NCEE 2009 4070 written by National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act provides support "to ensure that teachers have the necessary subject matter knowledge and teaching skills in the academic subjects that the teachers teach." Title II of the act allows funds to be used for "carrying out programs that establish, expand, or improve alternative routes for state certification of teachers," as well as for "reforming teacher certification (including recertification) or licensing requirements." This study informs that effort by rigorously examining the effect of alternative-route program teachers on student achievement and classroom practices. It also investigates whether certification training experiences are associated with teacher performance. The study found no benefit, on average, to student achievement from placing an alternative-route program teacher in the classroom when the alternative was a teacher certified through a traditional route, but there was no evidence of harm either. In addition, the experimental and nonexperimental findings together indicate that while individual teachers appear to have an effect on student achievement, the study could not identify what about a teacher affects student achievement. Variation in student achievement was not strongly linked to the teachers' chosen preparation route or to other measured teacher characteristics. (Contains 1 figure.)
