Ed,
I agree that a state-by-state listing would be tremendously helpful, and if
there's room for a follow-up project or to broaden the scope of this one,
I'd like to pursue it. I'm primarily interested in national accreditation
standards right now, especially those under NCTE/NCATE, along with hiring
practices within teacher certification programs in English. The NCTE is
asking for increased attention to language in its standards for program
accreditation, but it's not clear who should be teaching the courses that
are often put forward to satisfy those requirements. What kind of
background in linguistics, writing, pedagogy, etc., is appropriate for those
who teach the future English teachers?

Andrew,
Are you looking into state requirements for the teacher certification
programs? If I understand the situation correctly, the requirements of the
various states are not easily found, much less compared. It would be a major
service to ATEG, I would think, for someone to simply collect the
requirements of the various states.

Dear ATEG Members:
Thanks to all who have responded to my inquiry about who teaches the grammar
courses in teacher certification programs; your information will prove quite
helpful in my research, and I hope to share results with you in the not so
distant future.

Subject: Who Teaches the Grammar Course?
Dear ATEG members:
I'm researching who most typically teaches the grammar course (or preferably
two or more classes involving study of language, grammar, and/or methods of
incorporating language instruction into one's curriculum) in programs that
prepare secondary education students in English Language Arts. Are people
with PhDs in linguistics more commonly recruited? Or those with some
combination of linguistics, education, comp/rhet, etc.? I'd love to hear
about the backgrounds of people who typically teach such courses at your
instititutions.
Thanks so much,
Andrew
