I am not against teaching certification, but I do not believe in either/or. I think we need someone who has some training or is willing to acquire some. Besides, we all know that a teaching certificate is no guarantee of good teaching, at any level: K-12, adult, ESOL or higher education. How many of us have artfully dozed through lectures? How many of us have seen teachers with certification and shudder when we watch them teach? I think finding the right person for the job is essential. Training is important, for teachers with and without certification. I think it's a tough call when you see teachers who have certification and can't teach, and excellent teachers who don't have the required certification. regards, Ujwala Samant __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
