What Scott Does Here

Before an article on Teacher.org is published or updated, Scott checks it against the sources it relies on. That includes every statistic, every certification or exam requirement, every program detail, and every date.

That means checking certification requirements against each state's department of education, exam requirements against ETS's published Praxis information, salary figures against U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and school data against the National Center for Education Statistics. When something doesn't match its source, it's corrected before the article goes live.

Scott's role is verification, not expert review: making sure what each article says matches the official sources behind it. Every article on this site shows Scott's name under the byline.

How We Check Our Work

Fact-checking on this site is done by people on our editorial team, never by an AI tool. Our editorial standards explain where our facts come from, how we use AI, and how we handle corrections, and you can meet the rest of the people behind the site on our About page.

If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, use the corrections contact on our editorial standards page and tell us the page and what needs fixing.
