Research shows that teacher certification is not a guarantee of excellent teaching, according to a 2006 report by the Brookings Institution. This report, Identifying Effective Teachers Using Performance on the Job, studied research that measured teachers’ success by their students’ performance and found no significant difference in achievement between students taught by certified or uncertified teachers.
