Depends on your definition of "twisted" Most TTT programs now
have programs to help people get some of their education
classes and classes they might be needing in their major area
for the Indiana certification, but at one point they all have
the person take time off of their full time job to student
teach. This is because that is required, to my knowledge from
what I was told, no way around that. Which makes sense. That
experience is needed, and not having it is a slap in the face
for those of us that took the "traditional" route. We are in
a profession, and that (to me) is like asking doctors not to
go through residency. I would not want to go to a doctor that
didn't do that!
Tell your better half though that the business ed cert is a
good option though if he is serious about doing this for his
career. I know for a fact there was a shortage of positions
this year in business education, some schools even started the
school year with emergency subs. If he's willing to look and
move statewide, he will have options when he is done. If you
are locked into the larger areas (Indy, Fort Wayne, etc) it
will be more challenging.
Good luck.
