Comments on certification
 * NASDTEC: National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification Interstate Agreement Signed by Many States and Other Entities
 * difference between certification and being highly qualified
 * UMF Secondary/Middle Education **graduates** meet all the requirements for certification in the State of Maine by the time they pass student teaching (many steps along the way). You just need to fill out a form and send in one last check (your field supervisor in student teaching will walk you through the steps).
