There continues to be controversy in academia and in the state
legislature of Pennsylvania concerning alternative teacher
certification and the criteria for awarding such certification.
Those opposing alternative certification have ranged from teacher
unions to associations representing college and university teacher
educators. However, by 1993, despite being belittled and sometimes
praised, forty- one states had instituted alternative certification
programs for individuals who held degrees and wished to teach. The
process of obtaining a teacher certification in most states has
only one focus, meaning that the method, which includes coursework
taken at a college or university, a teaching practicum and the
passing of a national or state teacher's exam or both, is believed
to be the one best way for obtaining a teaching cerification.
Policy pertaining to what makes a teacher a professional educator
includes a teacher's knowledge base as to how a teacher was
prepared, the conduct and performance of a teacher, and how a
teacher is considered competent.
