** Q1 ** What are the different types of teacher certifications available in your area? #RuralEdChat

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Are all of you already certified teachers? #RuralEdChat

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1. Meaning what? Endors3ments/subjec5 areas or teach8ng vs. admin, say? #RuralEdchat

try_rebooting Oct 31 @ 8:41 PM EDT

I'm not - I'm not even a "real" teacher! I'm a tech worked who volunteers with a rural school, along for the ride with the pros #RuralEdChat

That's one scary scarecrow. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @ChrisAFRIN, @FoleyKev

A1: Ah, you seem to mean std vs alt... VT and NH both have traditional (college) and various alt paths. I thought this common. #RuralEdChat

A1 my answer would be an alternative licensure I guess. My major in college wasn't education. #RuralEdChat

Question two will be here before the chocolate will melt in your hand. #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:48 PM EDT

** Q2 ** What are the requirements for these certifications? #RuralEdChat

ChrisAFRIN Oct 31 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Hi Laura I am here in England having achieved a #PGCE in Post Compulsory Education - been teaching for 27+ years #RuralEdChat

In reply to @LauraForbes75

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Nor was mine. I did Alt IV cert through @UVEIconnect (NH). #RuralEdChat

In reply to @LauraForbes75, @UVEIconnect

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A2: Regular Certification here in FL requires a Bachelors' Degree in your area. #RuralEdchat

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Similar here, but programs vary. College involvement not necessary. Praxis central, though. Massachusetts has its own test. #RuralEdChat

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 8:49 PM EDT

TN requires passing the Praxis per subject area and a college willing to work with you on gaining licensure.
In reply to @TG_Neil

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Of course the closest college is an hour and 15 min away #RuralEdChat

ChrisAFRIN Oct 31 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Although you currently don't need a qualification to teach in Post Compulsory Education you can complete this whilst working #RuralEdChat

In reply to @LauraForbes75

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Question 3 will be here before the regret of candy hording sets in. #RuralEdchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:54 PM EDT

** Q3 ** Once initial certification is gained, what are the requirements for additional certifications? #RuralEdChat

FoleyKev Oct 31 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6.We need to think and teach bound the textbook.lets teach pupils to think and ask why #RuralEdChat #tnedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Side Question: What has been the best costume you've seen this Halloween? #RuralEdchat

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Do you mean like an Eds or Doctorate program? Or per subject area? #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A3: Here, once Prof. Cert. is obtained, we only have to pass subject area test to add to our certification. #RuralEdchat

ChrisAFRIN Oct 31 @ 8:58 PM EDT

In England to teach in secondary schools you must have a subject area degree then do a PGCE #RuralEdChat

Joining in late! From WA! #HappyHallowen #RuralEdChat

Leximus28 Oct 31 @ 9:00 PM EDT

Q3 have to have a BA in Education and in 5 years have to get Procert to keep degree. Is changing to 100 clock hours #RuralEdChat

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:00 PM EDT

Right. My state allows one to also get this through additional coursework. #ruraledchat

In reply to @LauraForbes75

For Primary Education there are specific teaching degree programmes. #RuralEdChat

Question four will be here before the next knock on the door. #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 9:04 PM EDT

** Q4 ** What supports are in place for those with ALT Certs as they enter the classroom for the first time? #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 9:04 PM EDT

I would be at your door multiple times. LOL #RuralEdChat

In reply to @mrterborg

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:04 PM EDT

A3: NH & VT: depends on existing degrees/background... maybe peeer review, maybe new coursework... #RuralEdChat

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:05 PM EDT

I wouldn't care .. :) #ruraledchat I've also given out pre-packaged apple sauce for kids who don't eat chocolate.

In reply to @TG_Neil

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A4: supports, in the classroom? Oka6, serioys answer: varies WIDELY by district IME. #RuralEdChat

Rural_Schools Oct 31 @ 9:06 PM EDT

#ruraledchat A4 We think this is an important and often murky issue!

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:06 PM EDT

The same support as those walking in with traditional certs? #ruraledchat

In reply to @TG_Neil

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 9:07 PM EDT

College instructors come to observe and dept heads mentor you as well #RuralEdChat

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Yes, i was avoiding the question .. #ruraledchat (Mike, MD, EL LMS - Urban Educator

In reply to @TG_Neil

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Even with Trad. Cert. I had very little classroom experience when I started teaching. #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 31 @ 9:08 PM EDT

I was assigned a Mentor but she basically completed paperwork to document observations. Did little to truly support growth. #RuralEdChat

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:08 PM EDT

I think we need to do a much better job of supporting our newest teachers communication, leadership, modeling, more. #ruraledchat

In reply to @TG_Neil

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 9:09 PM EDT

As and alt license student I won't have any classroom experience from day one if I get a job prior to the end of program #RuralEdChat

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Too often true. Why I loved UVEI: full year practicum, two schools, four days per week on site! #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

SJ_Grubb Oct 31 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Mentoring, coaching, supports--and not giving the newbie a wicked schedule or a class of Ss as "trial by fire"... #RuralEdChat

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:11 PM EDT

👏👏 EVERY teacher in every context, in every district! #RuralEdChat

In reply to @mrterborg, @TG_Neil

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:11 PM EDT

SO wrong! #RuralEdChat

In reply to @LauraForbes75

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:11 PM EDT

As a library media specialist, I didn't either. Granted I did start in education 20+ years ago but none is required for us. #ruraledchat

In reply to @LauraForbes75

mrterborg Oct 31 @ 9:12 PM EDT

This is one of the fastest ways to get teachers to leave the profession #ruraledchat

In reply to @SJ_Grubb

SJ_Grubb Oct 31 @ 9:12 PM EDT

We do horrible things to new teachers because "that's what happened to me." #RuralEdChat

Our newly qualified Teachers are on a lower pay scale in Ireland.Unfair treatment to our NQTs #RuralEdChat

** Q5 ** You are asked to design a New Teacher Program for your school. What does it look like? #RuralEdChat

Exactly! We should want better for our Ss and their Ts! #RuralEdChat @mrterborg

In reply to @SJ_Grubb

LauraForbes75 Oct 31 @ 9:17 PM EDT

After school tutoring for new teachers would be helpful. Just designing lesson plans is difficult. #RuralEdChat

BenBo370 Oct 31 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Hm. Here too: the salary grid. But corporate is generally like that, too, IME, just not so structured. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @FoleyKev

SJ_Grubb Oct 31 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@TG_Neil #RuralEdChat Reduced schedule, prep with mentor teacher(s), acknowledgment of Entry Year graph (w/just in time support), cog. coach
