美国教师资格证书制度改革述要

The Reform of Teacher Certification in America

自20世纪80年代以来,美国对教师资格证书制度又进行了重大改革,使之不仅仅是一种教师职业准入制度,而且还促进已经从业的教师在整个职业生涯不断提高专业水准。等级证书制度构筑教师职业阶梯;强化定期换证制度促进教师职后培训;高级证书制度规范优秀教师标准。美国教师资格证书制度改革对完善我国教师资格认证制度有启示和借鉴作用。

Since the 1980s, the system of teacher certification has experienced a significant reform in America. Now it is not merely a kind of permit system, but also motivates teachers to improve their professional standard in their entire teaching career. Hierarchical certification system forms teacher’s career ladder; Renewing certificate constrainedly and regularly promotes teacher’s on-the-job training; National Board Certification regulates the standard of good teachers, which gives us some inspiration about improving our teacher certification system.
