[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're trying to determine which school to send your kid to next year, I have to say that I don't really think having the 12 credits in training makes a huge difference. Courses teaching educators how to teach are all kind of, well, to be perfectly blunt, common sense. You'd be better off finding out what sort of degrees the teachers hold (BA's, MA's? Science, Math, or Education?) Not that I think you could get ahold of that info. - but my point is - I'd rather have a teacher with a master's in math who is working on their AAP endorsement teach my kid AAP math than a teacher with a master's in education with their state endorsement in "giftedness". I just think it's putting too much emphasis on what the endorsement or certification actually translates into. - signed spouse of a teacher (who agrees with me whole-heartedly) and parent of Fairfax elementary students[/quote]
