List of accrediated teachers

Agree. But that doesn't discount the thousands of National Board Certified teachers who are better because they went through the process. It is a lot of work, not just a "complicated form" you fill out. I worked my butt off and earned it. I am a better teacher for everything I learned from the process.

 

cece~

I went thru all 19 pages. Saw some teachers I know at West, but they were listed by where they live. So a lot of people I know who teach, some teachers I've heard about too. In every profession, you have those who are in it for the raise. Of the teachers I personally know, or know through work, it was good to see them certified. I'd vouch for each one of them. There was one I've heard about that I saw...that bad apple thing...but again, it happens in every profession.

If you look for Garner schools, are you looking for here or Garner proper? That would be Wake County.

froggerplus - THANKS!

I know one of those teachers on the list... But she doesn't teach at my kids school... :-(

 

My son's 1st grade teacher was working on her accredidation that year, she made it and I have to say, she was his best teacher so far. I don't think it will make or break a teacher, but to me, it shows that they are willing to go the extra mile.

 

my son's 2nd and 3rd grade teachers are both on the list and they were totally fantastic!!!

 

It is a long meticulous process just like filing your taxes that has no relevance to helping kids learn. The scoring is based on the OPINIONS of a panel of teachers as to how well you demonstrate certain skills. How could that be an objective process? The portfolio entries are videos of classroom teaching, and written reflections that include among other things "reflecting on ways that you could improve". There are no multiple choice answers. This is the very essence of subjectivity.

There is NO independent evidence that it improves student or teacher achievement. The ones who pass praise it to the heavens, even if they didn't previously have any record of high academic achievement, even if they have no consistent record of student improvement, and even if most of their colleuges don't think they deserve it.

Reflecting on your own impact in the classroom? That can be scored objectively?

How well someone demonstrates the skills in the rubric is a very subjective process. It is very much a judgment call.

With all the tax dollars involved, and careers affected, they're ONLY trained for five days? Can you not see a problem there?

An easily remedied problem by testing the students at the beginning and end of each year. A teacher's effectiveness would become readily apparent the longer he or she teaches. This is a much better way to evaluate teachers than the National Board process.

Did you actually read this study!? Here are a few comments from the conclusion:

Although there is great potential for improving student outcomes by identifying superior teachers and offering differential rewards, we find relatively little support for NBPTS certification as a signal of teacher effectiveness. In general we find that prior to certification, future NBCTs are no more effective in raising student test scores than are other teachers who are never observed to become NBCTs. We find no support for the notion that going through the process of NBPTS certification boosts teacher productivity. The two main potential benefits are to identify and reward productive teachers and to encourage teachers to improve their teaching skills. Our results suggest that NBPTS does neither.

Here is another study done by George Leef. He is vice president for research for the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, and is is also a graduate of Duke University School of Law.

What it comes down to is that teachers should be given a test, either yearly or biannually, on both general education (the three "R"s) and their subject.

Just today, I saw a teacher (at least that's what s/he implied) on this very forum use the word "noone" attempting to refer to "no one". How can a teacher teach if they, themselves, don't know?

 

When people type sometimes they hit a wrong key or forget to hit the space bar. This is called a mistake. Most people still understand what the poster is saying, and everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone points them out though.

 

And sometimes people just don't know how to spell. A teacher should make a better effort to check their own spelling.

I guess the mistake was in believing that people might actually care whether or not the teachers who teach their children know what they are teaching.

 

Yet you critized her without knowing if it was a mistake or done because they don't know how to spell. Yet when you misspell a word you blame it on "your fat fingers". Really one sided. Now I have more important things to do than argue with someone who is so perfect they have to point out others mistakes, and jump to conclusions.

 

In the USA, how should these words be spelled?

humor - humour
rumor - rumour
favor - favour
flavor - flavour
Savior - Saviour
