Alternative Teacher Certification. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 140
This book summarizes the how alternatively certified
teachers reduce teacher shortages. A list of
shortage-area subjects was matched to the numbers
and types of certificates obtained by alternatively
certified teachers. Results demonstrate that
alternative certification programs are an effective
method of recruiting teachers in hard-to-fill
subject areas, particularly those content areas with
the most critical shortages – special education,
math, science, and foreign language. Nontraditional
teacher certification programs provide a fast-track
route into the classroom for individuals seeking a
career in education and reduce teacher shortages by
recruiting a significant number of teachers into the
profession in subject shortage areas. For education
leaders seeking to remedy chronic teacher shortages,
alternative certification offers an excellent option
for teacher recruitment and placement.
