with regard to candidate performance, while average satisfaction with the school’s and the district’s relationships with Governors State University amounted to 3.84 (on a 4-point scale). A comparison of administrator evaluations of our teachers with traditionally prepared teachers was reported in the 2005 Yearbook of the Association of Teacher Educators in the article “The Performance of Candidates in an Alternative Certification Program.” Thirty pairs of traditionally prepared and GSU alternatively prepared teachers, teaching similar grade level and subject areas and evaluated by the same administrator, were compared. Of the thirty pairs, the mean score for the traditionally prepared teachers is the same as that of the alternatively prepared teachers, 1.6 on a 2-point scale, with two being the highest score attainable. The quantitative results are mirrored in more qualitative assessments like that of one participating superintendent, who wrote that “The Governors State University Alternative Certification Program has filled a tremendous gap in our region. This program exemplifies a true partnership between the University and the partner elementary school districts. In addition to providing high quality teachers who are committed to teaching in depressed socioeconomic areas, and having a positive impact on student outcomes, the program has provided an exemplary model of quality induction and mentoring.” Likewise, one participating intern/teacher wrote: “Whenever I have the opportunity to speak about the program, I always give the highest praise. Although it was quite rigorous and difficult, it honestly gave me the best preparation I could have hoped for. Most individuals I encounter cannot believe my certification was through alternative certification and secondly that this was only my third year of teaching.” Contact Information Name: Dr. Karen M.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 2 of The Illinois Commitment Art Lovers Program The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The Art Lovers Program provides low cost additional art education to elementary school students while college students perfect their presentation skills and learn the value of service to the community. Both groups learn more. Description of the effective practice: Three times a year students from effective speaking classes visit an elementary school and give a lesson to the students about some form of art or some artist. The elementary students then create a piece of art work along the same lines. The elementary school pays for basic supplies. Some college students provide specialty supplies. All students present for no fee but earn credit in their effective speaking classes. One faculty member serves as the coordinator for the program and two other faculty members encourage their students to participate. How does this practice achieve sustainability? This program has been ongoing for about 10 years. It has been expanded by enlisting more instructors in the program in the last two years. The program is low cost and the speech coordinator has a high commitment to the program. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Since the fall quarter of 2004 over 11,300 students in Chicago Public Schools have received a visit from a student in the Art Lover’s Program from over 360 ILIC students in effective speaking classes. There is a website for the program, www.artloversonline.org, which has over 350 hits per month. Through this website visitors learn how this program works and connects them to museums and other art resources.
