Locking Ourselves In: National Standards for the Teaching Profession.

King, M. Bruce

Teaching and Teacher Education, v10 n1 p95-108 Jan 1994

Examines the certification program of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), focusing on professionalization, standards, assessment, and certification. Argues that the NBPTS program will ultimately institute more controls on teachers, further distance "professionals" from laypersons, and inhibit collaborative efforts among school personnel. (MDM)
