Certificate separate from education

3. Salary will be different. 

4. Don't leave a gap. Even child-rearing is fine

5. 100 clock hours for five years,   3 clock hours per year.

6. Diversity (Disabled, retarded to physical challenge, neural divergent)

//My question

What strategies would you use to close the achievement gap of a diverse classroom?

Trust, assessment (formative and summative ) and differentiation. Summarize at the end of the talking.

A bag of trick.  Let's able students to help unable students, to handle  程度不同的学生

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Alternative Routes to Certification (ARC) is a one-year certification program designed specifically for candidates working in partner school districts (Routes 2 and 4) or who bring substantive background knowledge to teaching (Route 3). With employer support, classified staff such as para-educators or instructional assistants (Route 2), or teachers under limited certification (Route 4, conditional or emergency) may use their employment as part of their job-embedded internship if it overlaps with their teaching endorsement.

The program begins in the summer and completes in the spring, comprising four quarters. Candidates complete coursework entirely online, though there are opportunities for on-campus participation in various events such as the annual job fair. The ARC program uses entirely online coursework, though it still requires some scheduled/synchronous online course participation. The courses are not self-paced but generally follow one learning topic/module per week to maximize cohort interaction.


COURSEWORK AND INTERNSHIP

The program includes core credits taken at the 6000-level and professional development credits taken at the 5000-level. Depending upon endorsement track, the program is between 35 and 45 credit

  • SPU Accelerated Master in Teaching Mathematics and Science (AMTMS)

https://spu.edu/catalog/graduate/20212/college-schools/education/math-science

The certification component of the AMTMS program is 45 credits. Approximately one-third of these credits are allocated for student teaching, which is full-time and supervised, for 180 days in a classroom. Completion of certification courses, internship requirements, and passing program assessments qualifies candidates for a Washington Residency Certificate.

COMPLETION OF THE MTMS DEGREE

Candidates earn the MTMS degree by completing five graduate-level courses, totaling 15 credits. These classes are taken at the regular graduate tuition rate. Classes required for the MTMS degree are not needed for certification. However, most candidates complete degree requirements immediately following certification to increase their base salary.
