ABSTRACT: The evolution and governing structure for teacher
certification provide the context for
analyzing the probable impact and issues caused by the
implementation of performance-based teacher education
(PBTE). Because the concept of PBTE is still being refined,
be of a prescriptive and speculative
nature. However, several factors which will have an effect
on crucial governance issues can be identified: a)
universities and state governments have had the most
influence on educational policy to date; b) since the
current system was institutionalized, teacher organizations,
minorities, students, and state
legislators have gained in strength and will demand a larger
on educational policy; c) these
varying interest groups have different value perspectives
which the research base of PBTE is unlikely to resolve, with
issues will become intensely
political, engendering negotiations, coalitions, and
compromises; d) the outcome of these political activities
will vary according to the prior political climate of the
state and the structure of statewide interest groups; and e)
as tenure revision, affirmative
action for minority employment, and the declining number of
pupils will effect the implementation
of PBTE. (HMD)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
