The requirement of teacher certification keeps out good teachers

January 19, 2013 by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at 09:41 AM

Here's a video to warm the cockles of your heart. And I can't resist pointing out that this teacher could not teach in Ontario because she's not certified.

If you do not have a teachers certificate you are not a teacher. Same relationship for example between a chiropractor and a medical doctor. Only a medical doctor is a medical doctor. You can call yourself an instructor or even a professor but you are not a teacher. That is why we call ECE trained workers “educators” but not teachers.

..and an ECE will only be considered a teacher when that person attains a degree and any continuing ed. that accredits an OTC status.

Joe, whatever ...

A teacher is somebody who is able to teach and can prove it by the results of his students.

Yes, I agree certification should prove competency.
And it does, in other places in the world.
Nothing could be further from reality today for elementary teachers in Ontario.

Ask parents if they prefer certified or uncertified teachers.

I have prefered compentent people that were not be certified teachers, I paid for them out of my pocket and as a result my son is a competent student.
