Teaching Certification Pathways - Nontraditional
Radical ideologies and pedagogies have made their way into America’s teaching colleges. Teaching licensure requirements need to be reformed to allow teachers to focus on becoming subject matter experts on the content they have chosen to teach as opposed to focusing solely on learning teaching pedagogies. America's teaching colleges for decades have focused on teaching future teachers how to teach using woke pedagogies.
The National Association of Scholars has created model legislation that states can adopt to modify for their state which would provide these nontraditional teaching certification pathways.
General Description of the Model Licensure Code:

Details of each Act:
The National Association of Scholars in conjunction with several other organizations has crafted 3 model bills which can be taken to your state legislators to fine tune for your state.
How School Choice Benefits All:
Increased Autonomy
School choice policies lead to the establishment of more independent and autonomous schools, where teachers often have greater freedom in curriculum design, teaching methods, and decision-making. This autonomy can create a more empowering and fulfilling work environment for teachers.
Diverse Teaching Environments
School choice provides teachers with opportunities to work in a variety of educational settings, including traditional public schools, charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, and so on. This diversity can attract teachers who have a preference for specific teaching philosophies or educational approaches.
Competitive Salaries and Benefits
With increased competition among schools, retaining talented teachers becomes a greater focus for schools and districts. As a result, schools may offer competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development opportunities to recruit and retain high-quality educators.
Innovation and Professional Growth
In a school choice environment, educators are encouraged to explore innovative teaching methods and practices to differentiate their schools from others. This emphasis on innovation can lead to professional growth and development for teachers, as they continuously strive to improve their teaching strategies.
Stronger Teacher-Parent Relationships
School choice often involves more active parental involvement in the education decision-making process. When parents have the option to choose their children's school, they are likely to be more invested in their child's education, leading to stronger partnerships between teachers and parents.
Supportive School Cultures
Schools that compete for students are more likely to prioritize creating supportive and positive school cultures. This can lead to a healthier and more enjoyable work environment for teachers, fostering collaboration and a sense of community.
Smaller Class Sizes
Many school choice models, such as private and charter schools, may have smaller class sizes due to a more manageable student population. Smaller class sizes can improve teacher-student interactions and allow for more individualized instruction.
