Already certified in 6-12 ELA and teaching it. What is the fastest/cheapest way to pick up a MS and/or (maybe it's very subject specific) HS Science endorsement for Illinois? Would prefer online if possible.
I took a break from teaching and now would like to return to a K-3 position. I am nervous about interviewing because I haven't taught in some years. Has anyone been through this situation? Should I consider taking a refresher course over the summer? Just looking for opinions.....
Anyone looking for or know someone looking for a long term sub position? Would be 6th grade math so math endorsement strongly preferred! Position is from January 8th to April 12th. Please visit rtsd26.org to apply.
I'm trying to get my coursework done to get endorsed in some MS areas. Does anyone know a cheap, flexible way to do this? I have the list of ISBE approved schools, but there's no way to search out online or distance learning programs that would be flexible. Any information would be helpful! Thanks!
StacyNot sure if online is offered. WIU has evening classes to get your MS courses and then you could pick up the MS subject area courses (not all) at any school, including community college which is way cheaper.
Long story, but I went to school for teaching out of state, did not complete student teaching but did complete all of my coursework, and five years later am still trying to figure out how to get licensed. The state is being very unclear about the requirements I need to meet. One person at the DOE said I needed to go back to school and get my Master...See MoreLong story, but I went to school for teaching out of state, did not complete student teaching but did complete all of my coursework, and five years later am still trying to figure out how to get licensed. The state is being very unclear about the requirements I need to meet. One person at the DOE said I needed to go back to school and get my Master's (which is not a thing I am currently able or willing to do), one said I needed to move back to the original state where I went to school. I am just trying to be a teacher. I will take whatever extra courses I need to take and student teach and do whatever field placements are necessary, I'm just having no luck finding out what I have left to do. My deficiency letter literally reads "needs comparable out of state certificate" and I don't have one of those, that doesn't give me any kind of path to certification and I feel like I've hit yet another dead end. I've paid hundreds now for certification testing and registration fees and application fees and I'm so tired of it all. I'm ready to teach and I feel like I'm being led to jump through all these unnecessary hoops. Any advice?
