[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nor does having a certificate necessarily make someone a good teacher.[/quote] True. But state certification requirements insure that the recipient has taken the academic courses (in both subject matter and pedagogy) most often associated with good teaching.[/quote] No, they don't. It depends on the state and the kind of certification (it can just mean that you got a public school job and are enrolled in a program). And that's before we get to the quality of the programs/coursework. TFA, for example, puts people into the classroom after 5 weeks of teacher-training. States may require Praxis exam(s) of their TFA hires, but each state sets its own standard of what constitutes a passing grade on those exams. And requiring an additional subject matter exam is meaningless if teachers aren't placed in their area of specialization. [/quote]
