| Abstract | This paper discusses factors related to the development of a good state competency-based certification system in order to make educational reforms which are compatible with a localized value system. One factor is the leadership positions of state certification personnel that enable them to become instrumental in making certification policies by giving them opportunities to promote far-reaching reforms in education. Two different philosophies of education reform are then discussed--democratic localism and insipient democracy, the latter having been followed by most state education agencies. However, the competency movement should change this since it is an attempt to alter the locus of authority within the education system. A new type of teaching exam, designed to provide information relevant to interests of the clients such as teacher education, retention, and promotion, is another factor. The exam would be weighted so that each client could establish the profile desired; it would consist of over 40 modules in four broad categories. Film episodes to test the candidates' ability to see and understand what is going on in the classroom are also suggested. Finally, the paper recommends that a diversified and localized value system should be established to relate to the public's expectations for schools. States should support a certification system that expects diversity and challenges all to meet the highest level of accomplishment. State standards should never be rigid and procedures should be revised yearly based on constant feedback. (PD) |
