Re: Elementary Ed Teacher CT
Posted by t on 6/18/08
Why doesn't he at least apply in NY? What about NYC? To limit
yourself to Fairfield county would be a mistake because as the
previous poster said, it is extremely competetive, even for high
need areas. To get certified in NY he must pass the NY tests, at least three
for Elementary Ed. His SC degree should be fine as long as the
school was properly accredited. He would need the masters to
move up the certification ladder, but if he is qualified, he
should be able to get in with a BA. On 6/18/08, Nancy Carol wrote:
