Why Teach . . .

 

 

 

 

“I teach because I am a teacher. It is an ancient and
honorable profession and the only one where I would feel
comfortable. For professional teachers are like saints in that
they cannot help being what they are. (Any other resent
blances are purely coincidental.)”

—Professor F. Earl Ward
in the Macalester College Bulletin,
February, 1958.

Who Is Competent . . .

 

 

 

 

“What is a competent teacher? He is one whose general

liberal education has both breadth and depth. He knows
his own areas of teaching well. He understands human
growth and development and knows how learning ”'5
place. He can appraise and help individuals. He 15 an er;
pert in group processes. He possesses skill in method“)
teaching, in stimulating careful thinking, in preservmgflfnl
extending creativity of his students, skill in making 9:.
aware of the values they exhibit and in 11311)ng then”
examine those values from time to time.”

FOREWORD

“Advancing Education in Kentucky” has been the theme of a
movement to achieve full implementation of the new Foundation
Program Law. The purpose of this dynamic movement has been to
move more closely on all fronts to the goal, “an efficient system of
common schools throughout the State.” This goal is stated in Sec—
tion 183 of the Kentucky Constitution.

Basic to advancing education in Kentucky is the competence of
the school personnel. A good school starts with a competent teacher.
Full significance of the Foundation Program will be achieved to the
degree that there is an adequate supply of competent teachers in
every area of learning. The Foundation Program with its tremendous
challeIlge has stimulated critical review and re—examination of the
framework for the preparation and certification of Kentucky’s teachers.

This bulletin will serve as a guide and resource to college staffs
pr0gram planning and for COunseling with students. It will give
to. the public the “why” and the “how” of teacher certification and
W111 clarify many current questions in regard to certification. It will
e a Resource to those who are responsible for working directly with
Etta? mVOlVing the recruitment, preparation and employment of
re 00 PeTSOHnel for Kentucky’s boys and girls. The new program
PTeSents a Significant advance,

INTRODUCTION

Kentucky’s program for teacher preparation—certification has
been the vehicle through which the preparation of Kentucky’s teachers
has moved steadily upward during the past decade. Kentucky ranks
higher on the preparation of teachers employed in its classrooms today
than on any other major measure by which states are ranked education.
ally. Even though there is an annual exodus of well qualified teachers
from our Commonwealth, significant gains have been made inthe
preparation level of teachers who are remaining to teach the Kerr
tucky boys and girls. Of the 24,106 teachers employed in 1958-1959
in Kentucky, 67.1 per cent were college graduates while five years
ago only 58.8 per cent of the 20,280 teachers held degrees. Ten years
ago, only 48 per cent were college graduates. College preparation
is not the sole criterion by which teacher effectiveness is measured;
however, college graduation is one distinguishing mark of any pIO‘
fession and to deny that there is a relationship between $301191
preparation and classroom effectiveness is to ignore the very foun-
dation of the teaching profession.

This Bulletin presents the newly adopted programs 0f prepai‘
ation—certification of school personnel in Kentucky in the future. 1
has new elements and new emphases which hold promise’for deep:
quality. The new plan is called the “approved Program approucl;
This approach has been emerging for a decade and has now cleafiérr
crystalized. Kentucky is in the forefront in this approach to teaCf0n
preparation and certification since only three states in the milled
use this approach. Fifteen states still use exclusively the'meelnts
of checking courses completed against specific course reqmrfm r0-
of the state. All other states employ a combination of the ilenpthe
cesses, according to T. M. Stinnett and W. Earl Armstl'Oilg'y es and

standards for a program of teacher preparation and C'Ie‘ffils IeaVGS
instead of specifying in detail courses to be completed. d rogram

Other emphases in the new program are:
1. Selection of personnel on basis of personal as well as academic
qualifications
2. The development of the program in each institution by the
total university or college staff
3. Four and five and six-year programs of preparation including
{broad general education, specialization in academic subjects,
and professional education
. Competencies essential for each type of school position
. Flexibility for large blocks of courses
. Guidance by college staff
. Recommendation of each candidate for certification by the

preparation which really make a difference in the quality of classroom
learning opportunities. This new program being presented at this
particular time, however, has evolved out-of—state and national studies
during the past few years and from experimentation during this period
in Kentucky in both the pre-service and in-service programs. Some
elements in the new program parallel national trends and other ele-
ments represent pioneering efforts.

Kentucky was well represented in the following conferences at
the national, regional or state level which devoted critical attention
to teacher preparation and certification:

In addition to the Kentucky participants in the studies and con-

served on sub-committees of the Advisory Committee on Teacher Edu-

ago to revise the teacher preparation—certification standards. These
individuals presented, in addition to their own Viewpoints, the view—
points of the organization they were representing. Thus, the total pro-
fession at all levels, as well as laymen, had opportunity to add quality
to the decisions represented in the newly adopted program of teacher
preparation and certification.

Excerpts
from

A MANUAL OF CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS1

. . there have been some demands that legal certification of
teachers be abolished. Others have called for retention of the legal
licensure but for abolition of most or all of the professional require-
ments. And there have been proposals to establish national certifica-
tion in some fields by nonlegal boards or committees and to undergiId
such certification with federal funds. None of these as yet has tran-
spried and do not, at the moment, seem likely to do so in the 1193i
future.

. . . The trend seems to be for telescoping of professional require-
ments into two clusters: for high-school teachers to cluster around 13
semester hours; for elementary teachers to Cluster around 24 semester
hours. These clusters apparently are based upon the assumptions (ll
that basic grounding in educational psychology and principles of €511?
cation, methods, and student teaching is essential to the Preparatwfl
of the competent high-school teacher, and that such grounding cannot
be accomplished in less than 15 to 18 semester hours; (2) that the ele-
mentary teacher, being a generalist and dealing more with immature
learners, needs additional grounding in methodology and laboratory
experiences with children. Based on the evidence reported In ths
Manual, it does not appear that the trend toward telescoping f’f pro-
fessional requirements is likely to extend much below these Pomts'

There are, however, evidences of qualitative adjustme'ntv 6:;le-
mentation, and new—horizon approaches to the problem 0f idenf ling/E
and certifying competent teachers which may, in the 10ng_w1_1’ pro e-
to be much more significant
