• The most significant factor in student achievement, under the school’s control, is the teacher.
• The difference between an effective and non-effective teacher can be one full level of achievement in a single school year.
• Unfortunately, on average, low-income and minority children have lower-quality teachers who are far more likely to be uncertified, to have scored poorly on college and licensure exams, and to be teaching outside of their field (Craig 2002).
Good Teaching Matters … A Lot!Good Teaching Matters … A Lot!

Greatness By Design…excerptsGreatness By Design…excerpts
….Talk to any great teacher or school administrator
about what brought them to and keeps them in the
profession and it is clear that, to attract and keep
excellent educators, we need a comprehensive and
strategic approach. We need to focus equally on
outreach, preparation and mentoring, on the one hand,
and on the creation of school contexts that value and
develop teacher expertise and enable collaborative,
student-centered practice, on the other.

Greatness By Design…excerptsGreatness By Design…excerpts
…On average, education systems are as likely to lose their top performers as their weaker staff, often because their is little attention to the kinds of conditions and opportunities that will persuade them to stay….
…..Recruitment and retention are closely interlinked. If an occupation develops and sustains productive individuals, there is less attrition and less need for ongoing recruitment, which allows the field to be more selective.
While money makes a difference, talented people are recruited to fields where they believe they will be valued for their work, and they stay when they feel efficacious and successful…..

Greatness By Design…excerptsGreatness By Design…excerptsResearch and common sense tell us that teachers’ and principals’ decisions regarding whether to enter and stay in the profession are strongly influenced by salaries and working conditions.
It turns out that low-salary districts serve disproportionately high numbers of minority students and more than twice as many new English learners. These districts also have class sizes that are, on average, about 20 percent larger than those in high-salary districts, signaling that they also provide poorer working conditions.
Furthermore, in both high-minority and high-poverty districts, there are much greater proportions of newly hired, inexperienced and under-qualified teachers.

These inequitably distributed teacher qualifications make a major difference in student achievement.
A large-scale study of high school student achievement in North Carolina found that students’ achievement growth was significantly higher if they were taught by a teacher who graduated from a competitive college, was fully prepared upon entry (rather than entering through the state’s alternative route), had higher scores on the teacher licensing test, was certified in his or her teaching field, had taught for more than two years, or was National Board Certified.
![Page 9: CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Title II, Part A Teacher and Principal Quality Credential](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051819/5513df7f5503466f748b53ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Greatness By Design…excerptsGreatness By Design…excerpts
Similarly, a large-scale study in New York City found that students’ achievement growth in elementary and middle school mathematics was most enhanced by having a fully certified teacher who had graduated from a university-based, pre-service teacher education program, who had a strong academic background and who had more than two years of experience.
Students’ achievement was hurt most by having an inexperienced teacher on a temporary license – again, a teaching profile most common in high-minority, low-income California schools.

These studies strongly suggest that school districts
develop policies to ensure the recruitment of candidates
with strong academic ability, solid preparation, and ensure
that they are placed within their field of certification and
support them so that they stay long enough to gain the
experience that further enhances their effectiveness.

Just an FYI…..InternsJust an FYI…..Interns
On September 27, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, ruled on Renee v. Duncan. The Court ruled that the federal regulation that permits teachers who are participating in an alternative route (interns) to achieving full certification conflicts with the statute and does not meet the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
![Page 20: CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Title II, Part A Teacher and Principal Quality Credential](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051819/5513df7f5503466f748b53ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Interns….Interns….continued
In response the U.S. Department of Education issued the following statement:
As part of a Continuing Resolution that the United States Congress passed and the President signed in late December did address the alternative certification/HQT issue.
SEC. 163. (a) A ‘highly qualified teacher’ includes a teacher who meets the requirements in 34 C.F.R. 200.56(a)(2)(ii), as published in the Federal Register on December 2, 2002.
(b) This provision is effective on the date of enactment of this provision through the end of the 2012–2013 academic year.
The provision of the Continuing Resolution amends the ESEA to confirm that teachers in alternative route programs (interns) may continue to teach as fully certified-highly qualified teachers under provision of this regulation until 2012–13, subject to any provision that Congress may enact before then in a reauthorized ESEA.
