As the school term ends, New York is no closer to solving its acute shortage of certified teachers than it was earlier in the year.
The city’s attempt to resolve its education plight is aptly illustrated by the story of Pe-ter DeMarco, formerly an aspiring comedian, who was recruited to teach English in the city’s high schools. Mr. DeMarco and about 300 other people joined the teaching ranks under the New York Teaching Fellows program, an initiative set up to fill numerous "technical vacancies" that are usually filled by teachers lacking full certification.
Some 2,300 people from as far away as South Africa and Nigeria applied for the scheme. The successful candidates underwent an intensive induction program at the City University of New York during the summer and were sent to classrooms at the beginning of the school year. Most were sent to schools in troubled parts of the city.
For many, including Mr. DeMarco, becoming a teacher meant a pay cut. "But I am not doing this for money. . . I am doing it for some meaning, and to make an impact on some lives," he says.
Now, at 38, after a variety of jobs—including stand-up comedy and acting roles—he says he is "finally where I want to be". Teaching is difficult but satisfying, Mr. DeMarco says. He liked the job a week into it and still likes it now, months later. He plans to teach through the two years required by the program, and possibly even longer. "Tough as they are, the kids are great. .. some of their writing and creativity, it is just phenomenal. "
People like Mr. DeMarco "demonstrated concern for the quality of teaching in New York schools", says Harold Levy, chancellor of the state’s board of education. His board estimates New York will need 40,000 to 55,000 more teachers than it expects to get over the next five years. Colleges are not producing enough teachers, he says. Teacher shortage is a national problem in the U. S. , art issue highlighted in this year’s presidential election. [br] Which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、Only British citizen has access to the New York Teaching Fellows program.
B、Candidates should have graduated from the City University of New York.
C、It’s not required to have full certification for the candidates.
D、Most candidates will teach in the key schools of the city.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题,文中第二段最后一句说“‘technical vacancies’that are usually filled by teachers lacking full certification”,可知为解决教师短缺问题,“纽约教学之友”计划招聘缺乏正式资格认证的人员来填补那些“技术性空缺”。
