[quote=Anonymous]TFA are exempt for 2 years on having to get certified but as a poster stated will not have a letter sent out. Hence, technically they are teaching uncertified in anything as most new TFA only had 5 weeks of teaching experience over the summer. That's if they were lucky, and even then their summer experience may be different from the subject they are placed in, e.g. summer experience with elementary but placed in a middle school. Teachers who are not TFA or Teaching Fellows may or may not be certified but regardless will get letters if OSSE does not have credentials on file that as many have pointed out are higher than others in neighboring states. Is it difficult to pass the Praxis exams, no it's not. However, there may be good reasons why teachers' have not taken them or the school administrators may have placed them in different positions than those they are certified to teach post hire. Considering the issues with TFA and Teaching Fellows, the bottom line is "it means nothing" unless the teacher has been teaching the same content class for a lone time and is still not certified.
