Reinforcing Professionalism with Teacher Certification.

Taylor, John W.

Music Educators Journal, v78 n1 p30-35 Sep 1991

Urges music teacher certification to increase professionalism. Describes two certification programs that will begin to issue certifications during the 1990s: the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) and the Music Educators National Conference (MENC). Expresses concern that certification will only be accepted if it focuses on traits perceived by music educators to be of value to music teaching. (DK)
