The
definition of being a qualified teacher can be defined in many different ways.
According to the article, “Teacher Research Informing Policy: An Analysis of
Research on Highly Qualified Teaching and NCLB” teacher quality is acknowledged
as one of the key components in reforming America’s educational system. A
teacher who is qualified holds a bachelor’s degree or higher from a 4-year
institution, has the knowledge required to teach the important core academic
subjects, and a state teaching license. These qualities can be assessed in
different ways. Based on academic achievement, it can be determined that the
quality of teaching has the most influential effect on it. They can also be
assessed on experience and how well they did in college.
Good teaching is often measured by
whether or not the teacher has majored or minored in a specific subject that
they are going to be teaching. Thus, leading them to the opportunity to receive
good measures. Good teaching is recognized most when teachers actually care
about how their students feel and how well they learn. They also spark their
students to become actively engaged in learning. With these qualities, student
success will be how good teaching is measured.
When it comes to teaching,
qualifications do make a significant difference. For instance, if we had just
any type of person teaching in our schools then who knows if children will
learn the correct way or if they will even learn lessons of importance. A
qualified teacher might have knowledge that includes how to teach, or how to go
about teaching in core subject areas. A teacher who is unqualified might not
have these important qualities.
School systems in order to meet the No
Child Left Behind Policy should attempt to pursue the opportunity to get
alternative certificates. These certificates attempt to provide knowledge to
teachers so that students meet the NCLB standards. So then they are able to
produce sufficient results on standard tests. As a result, this could help the
schools that are less economically privileged because they are not able to pay
“qualified” teachers, to potentially have the opportunity to meet the NCLB requirements.
