Re: Transition to Teaching - Business Ed

Forgot to add please also tell him to look at getting his
vocational business endorsement. He can take the classes he
needs for it online from Indiana State or on campus at Ball
State. He will need outside-of-education work experience to add
it as well (not in marketing or self-employment). It will allow
him to teach more business classes, including Work co-op, etc.
Some Indiana schools now won't even interview without the
endorsement, it is that important to those schools now. He can
do it on the tail end of his coursework, or just after he is
done. It is my understanding he has to have the business ed on
his license before it can be added.
