Dear Fellow Teachers... I need your help! I have a degree in
biology and NJ teaching certification...problem? I got them
30 years ago! I am now "ready" to be a teacher and belive I
have a lot to offer. I have been in a career for 30 years
and traveled extensively both for business and personal
reasons. I am ready to "give back". Does anyone know of any
study classes for the biology Praxis? No way I could pass it
without a class but I think with a little bit of help, I can
be a good teacher. Any suggestions?
