Research Paper

The differences were connected with a teacher’s original preparation for the teaching profession, licensing in the particular subject area to be taught, strength of the educational experience, and the degree of experience in teaching along with the demonstration of abilities through the National Board Certification, in which all of these facets can be addressed through policy (Darling-Hammond, 2010).America has not produced a national method containing supports and reasons to guarantee that teachers’ are adequately prepared and equipped to teach all children effectively when they first enter into the career of teaching. America also does not have a vast collection of methods available that will maintain the evaluation and continuing development of a teacher’s effectiveness in the classroom, or support decisions about entry into the field of teaching and the continuance in the profession of teaching (Darling-Hammond, 2010). n order to reach the belief that all students will be taught and learn to high standards calls for a makeover in the methods our system of education in order to be a magnet for, train, support or uphold, and cultivate effective teachers in more efficient ways. A makeover that is contingent in a certain degree of how the abilities or skills are comprehended (Darling-Hammond, 2010).In the last few years there has been increasing

Finally, this journal has enlightened me and my thought process of generalizations pertaining to urban schools: “When we think of low poverty schools the first thing that comes to mind are inner urban schools. Again, this process is considered a stereotype because many urban schools perform well and meet required standards. Unfortunately, there are urban schools across the nation who has a high demand for teachers and resources. Teacher.com is a comprehensive resource for information. It is in partnership with California State University-Rossier online. It provides state specific information on how to become a teacher, areas that are in demand of teachers, teacher pay in those areas, teaching credentials, teacher certification tests, alternative teacher certification and more. Its objective is to provide all information to become a teacher anywhere in which you reside. Sadly the schools that have the highest demand for teachers are the

The first paper is due by Monday, April 9, 11:59 p.m. You MAY use sources outside of the Liberty Search Engine (and are encouraged to do so). Also you may use scholarly books and not just journal articles. You should avoid using generic websites that do not appear scholarly in nature. A good rule of thumb is that if a website does not have an author, it is not a good source. Good online material has also usually been published in print at some point. Google Scholar and JSTOR are great places to search, as well as the online encyclopedias I've shown you. Always feel free to send me an email if you have questions about sources or formatting.

“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes

On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed

In the year of 2011, there were 3.2 million teachers who were employed at public schools throughout the nation, which served close to 50 million children in grades kindergarten through twelfth (Feistritzer, 2011). Currently, to be employed as a teacher in the United States, one must obtain a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university, and be certificated in the state that one wishes to be employed. The certification serves as a teaching credential, which is needed for teachers in all states.

Fifty percent of new teachers quit with in the first five years of teaching (NEA, 2015), with this number being so alarmingly high it begs the questions: Why do so many teachers leave after going through years of college for this profession? Were teachers not prepared for the job, through college training, what should colleges teach in order to better prepare teachers?

(c) Any other damages proximately caused by the failure of the person performing the services that constitute the unauthorized practice of law to have the license to practice law in this state that is required to perform the services;

In the United States each state has their own system to regulate teacher certification. Each state has a set of state guidelines and procedures for certifying teachers. Equally, all public schools are expected to employ teachers that meet certification requirements by individual states. The high commitment of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is for more school accountability and to hire “highly qualified” teachers to improve the learning outcomes of every student and monitor student achievement (Boyd, (Goldhaber, Lankford, Wyckoff, 2007). As a result of No Child Left behind North Carolina hold teachers to specific criteria in order to become “highly qualified.” Teachers must hold Bachelor’s degree or higher; and Hold full certification in teaching in the state of North Carolina. Teacher must have a major and coursework equal to the total of twenty-four semester hours from a four-year accredited college or university in their perspective content area. Also, teachers that hold an advanced degree, National Board Certification or pass the PRAXIS in their perspective content area (NCDPI, 2006).

A new teacher with a bachelor 's degree would start at the salary provided in step 0 under BA, or $46,613 for the nine-month school year, including a 4 percent contribution to the Teachers Retirement System. In the second year, the teacher would move into step 1 and be paid a salary of $48,409. As additional years of service are accumulated, the teacher moves into higher and higher steps, each of which brings an automatic annual pay increase of approximately 3 percent. However, for a teacher with just a bachelor 's degree, this particular salary schedule caps teacher pay in step 29

In school, the quality of the teacher is highly important and is a major factor when it comes to a student’s success. Teachers do not get paid like they are leading and preparing the future generations of the world. The cost of college to be a qualified teacher mimics the numbers of many higher-paid jobs. As stated in Jen Huckwaldt’s article, “For the Love of the Job: Does Society Pay Teachers What They Are Worth?”, she says “[There are] other jobs that pay more with a master's degree, like a database administrator (median salary for all education levels: $69,626) or a software engineer (median salary for all education levels: $77,982).” (Huckwaldt, Par. 7) This is a hefty investment for a relatively low pay with an average base salary of

Becoming a teacher is not an easy process. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a future teacher must have

Teachers have an important role in shaping the kids of our future, to which they are not given enough credit for. Compared to how much teachers give, they are not given the amount of recognition and reward they truly deserve. Teachers are paid solely based on how many years they have been working and their credentials. Because of this, the teaching profession may not be of interest or is undermined by other professions: “A January report revealed that relatively low pay, high turnover rates that result in little mentorship of young teachers, and a growing workload in an increasingly underappreciated job are turning people away from the classroom,” (A.D. 2015). In an effort to promote teaching, many institutions have suggested merit pay, paying teachers bonuses based on how well their students perform. Some argue that merit pay will also help motivate teachers to work harder. However, others argue that merit pay will only create more problems. Whether or not a merit pay system should be used has been an ongoing debate for many years. Teachers should not be paid based on a merit system because it will create more dishonesty about results and competition between teachers.

The comprehension and strength involved are so substantial that four years seems slightly sufficient. Majority of public schools in the United States have minimal specifications for teachers educating kids establishing at age 5. Each state requires public teachers to have at least a four-12 months college degree (bachelor’s degree) (Jones 48-50). Salaries for public prekindergarten teachers average more than $50,000.00 for a ten month school year, but that excludes teachers in private school; because they earn below and are not required to have a bachelor’s degree. Approximately, one half of the states that have a prekindergarten program require all public school teachers to have a bachelor’s degree (Barnet et. 2009). The 2007 Head Start reauthorization mandated that all pre-k teachers have at least an associate’s degree by 2011 and at least at 50% have a bachelor’s degree by 2013 (Occupational

For one to become a teacher in the United States, there are specific qualifications he or she must acquire prior to starting their career. All primary and secondary education teachers must have a high school diploma. After high school, teachers must get a college or university degree in elementary or secondary education depending on the level that they intend to teach at. A primary
