In Summary

More than anything else, alternative certification programs serve as an upward mobility route for persons already involved in education.

Persons who meet the original intent of these programs represent a significant, but small, proportion of participants.

The cost of participation is a significant problem for many participants.

The majority of participants are positive about their experience in alternative certification programs.Slide8
