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
