As the population of certified teachers shrinks due to the number reaching retirementage, alternative certification programs have been proposed and, insome cases, implemented on state and national levels. The Department of DefenseTroops to Teachers Program (Troops to Teachers), originally establishedas a Department of Defense career transition program, was reauthorized aspart of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Although the program is primarilydesigned to provide quality classroom teachers at the secondary school level,the program was neither intended nor designed to certify teachers. Theintent of the national Department of Defense program was to identify separatingservice members meeting a basic transition eligibility framework uponwhich states could overlay their individual alternative teacher certification criteria.Individual states, having developed their own specific certification criteria,could more quickly incorporate eligible veterans into their alternative certificationprogram.This study addresses the need to assess the initial competencies of Kentucky’sTroops to Teachers-certified teachers against those who were traditionallytrained and certified.This book is designed for education professionals concerned with teacher preparedness.
