最近重新提出的教师国家认证概念引起了人们的兴趣和争议。该主题正在一些会议、讲习班和协会会议上讨论。这种复兴源于1986年的一份文件《国家准备：21世纪世纪的教师》中呼吁建立国家专业教学标准委员会。(5)这份由卡内基公司赞助的文件如此有影响力，以至于许多教育工作者现在认为建议和整体概念是同一个。这就造成了一种不幸的情况，即一个想法可能会被拒绝，而不是根据它的优点，而是根据与一个团体对该想法应该如何实施的看法有关的情况。这一讨论的主要目的是推进这样一种论点，即国家认证的概念对教师职业特别有利，对学校改革一般有利。这一论点是建立在两个关键问题：教师赋权和政治现实。然而，在提出这一案例之前，最好更仔细地研究一下建议成立的国家专业教学标准委员会。此外，还将简要回顾反对国家认证的主要论点。
The recent revival of the concept of national certification for teachers has generated interest and controversy. The topic is being discussed at a number of conferences, workshops, and association meetings. This resurgence stems from the call for the creation of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards in a 1986 document, ANation Prepared: Teachers for the 21st Century.(5) So influential is this Carnegie Corporation-sponsored document that many educators now view the recommendation and the overall concept as being one and the same. This creates the unfortunate situation where an idea may be rejected not on its merits, but on the basis of circumstances related to one group's view of how the idea should be implemented.The primary purpose of this discussion is to advance the contention that the concept of national certification is beneficial to the teaching profession specifically and to school reform in general. This argument is constructed on two critical issues: teacher empowerment and political realities. Before presenting this case, however, it is desirable to look more closely at the suggested formation of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Additionally, a brief review of major arguments against national certification will be presented.
