Re: ESL Licensing Question
Posted by Constancia on 8/02/08
Sorry to disagree, but there IS a need for teachers in Indiana. Check
out the DOE website!
http://www.doe.state.in.us/peer/positionsbycategory/welcome.html
There are some ELL positions open (and this is less than two weeks
before school begins, mind you) and scads of Spanish positions (and I
didn't even want to *count* the number of math positions open). We just
hired an elementary and a high school ELL person.
There are alternate paths to licensing available, and all that's
required for the license itself is passing the Praxis I and Praxis II
in your content area.
