    Yes, there is a program at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks
    and Anchorage. I am a first year teacher at 37 and I don't
    think age should be a draw back. I believe the more experience
    you have with real world experiences, the better off you are in
    the classroom. Although, I do agree that it is hard to teach an
    old dog new tricks. An open mind is very important. The
    program is a 5 year program with an intense year-long
    internship.
