Lessons Learned from Graduates of an Alternative Certification Program: The Case of the Stanley British Primary School
Goodwin, William L.; Rudkin, Jennifer K.
Journal of the National Association for Alternative Certification, v1 n1 p12-22 Spr 2006
The purpose of this article is to review the essential features of the Stanley British Primary School (SBPS) and its Alternative Teacher Certification Program (ATCP). Attention is given to the surveyed reactions of the first wave of graduates from the program, particularly those completing the licensure program between 1994 and 2000. Many areas were examined during the survey--including the demographics of the sample; the nature of effective recruitment strategies and reasons given for selecting the ATCP; graduates' evaluations of the SBPS ATCP components; and teacher retention. At the article's conclusion, major findings are discussed in the form of lessons learned.
