 \n             Thursday,December 18,1986  \n# RESEARCHER URGES ROTC-STYLE PROGRAMS TO RECRUIT TEACHERS\n\nIf up-front scholarship grants can compel students to serve in the armed for-ces,a simllar program should be incentive enough to attr act talented peopleinto teaching,argues a researcher in a recent report.  \nThe most successful career recruitment programs have been those that pay all orpart of a student's education expenss in exchange for a commitment to futureservice,such as the Army's ROTC program,concludes researcher David Arfin in\"The Use of Financial Aid to Attr act Talented Students to Teaching:Lessonsfrom Other Fields.\"  \nArfin,as a consultant to the California Commission on the Teaching Profes-sion,studied feder al efforts to attract new recruits to understaffed publicservice professions.His 19-page report focuses on feder al programs that usegrants,loan forgiveness and other types of aid to attract people to thehealth,law enforcement and teaching professions,as well as the military.  \nToo Little Too Late      Loan forgiveness progr ams,such as those included inthe National Direct Student Loan(NDSL)program,offer too little too late,Arfin concluded.\"Though it is generally thought that this progr am broughtmany people into teaching,that is much more anecdotal than empirical and itactually did very little,\"he said,and statistical analysis shows NDSL hasnot increased the number of new teachers.  \nNDSL and similar progr ams merely provide a windfall for those who would havechosen the targeted profession anyway,as a smal1,delayed benefit is notper suasive enough to attr act additional candidates to a low-paying career,Arfin said.  \nHe suggested government programs modeled after ROTC,which would provide sub-stantial funding up front in exchange for a commitment to teach one year foreach year of assistance.Gr ants of at least $20,000 over five years of teach-er training would be necessary,he said,as\"insignificant rewards are not go-ing to induce significant behavior al change.\"  \nAdditionally,Arfin said,such a progr am would have to incorporate a stick asbig as the scholarship carrot.He cites as examples ROTC and the NationalHealth Service Cor ps,a program that pays costs for doctors who later serve inpoor areas.That successful program had a high default rate until defaulterswere assessed a penalty equal to three times the grant amount.  \nService-pay-back programs can be used to recruit teachers with high academiccredentials,specialists in specific subjects or teachers willing to work in(more)  \npoor rural and urban areas,Arfin said.State-level programs would be moresuccessful in targeting shortage areas,which are not the same nationally,hesaid,but a federal program to attract more talented teachers is possible.  \nHe also suggested that states hire recruiters as the Army does for ROTC,andthat work-study programs that provide jobs in local schools be incor por ated.  \nTeacher training advocates gener ally supported Arfin's conclusion,althoughthey stressed that such a program would not,in itself,lure enough talentedstudents into the teaching profession.Bella Rosenberg,an assistant to Ameri-can Feder ation of Teachers President Albert Shanker,said the union would sup-port a service pay-back plan,and endor sed the concept in reform resolutionsadopted in the past year.  \n\"I don't see how anyone could knock\"a tuition-free program,sald National Edu-cation Association spokesman Howard Carroll,\"but unless there is a long-termcommitment it might not be useful.Someone might see this as a nice way to getthrough college and commlt for a few years and then get into something else.The problem we have now is a big turnover,\"he said.  \"There ought to be some-thing built into it [to ensure]that the applicant really wants to teach。\"  \nFair Deal?\"We've done some looking at [service pay-back programs]andconcluded that they can be marginally useful,as long as we under stand what wecan reasonably expect,\"said Marc Tucker,executive
