Abstract
Based on experiences in Kansas, the problems discussed include: discrepancies between competency-based teacher education and current certification practices; categorical approaches to training and certification; reciprocal agreements for coursework and certification requirements; and the supply/demand of teachers. One strategy proposed for dealing with the situation is development of a code of professional ethics through the involvement of The Council for Exceptional Children and State Comprehensive Personnel Planning for the Handicapped Committees. Specific responses that could be implemented by the field include identifying competencies emphasized by teacher preparation programs, the use of professional growth plans, and a practical approach for recruiting potential teachers.
