Actually I have already communicated with the state office about
what I can and can't take as course work.

I have found 2 less expensive and faster options online than
Indiana colleges.

Indiana colleges charge too much for teacher renewal work IMO.

Not to mention that Indiana makes it to difficult to get
certified in the first place.

Having been out of school awhile now and talked to so many
teachers from out of state that are shocked at how difficult
Indiana makes it to get licensed and stay licensed - I know that
it is eaaier, faster and cheaper elsewhere.

I already have around 200 college credit hours - and still! have
to take more classes to keep my license current - even though
there is a lack of jobs and many teachers end of subbing or
working in a support role.

And of course those jobs pay less and it can be expensive to
take traditional classes at Indiana colleges.

I was hopint I would find some less expensive and faster
alternatives to the 2 I have found.

call Indy to find out how hard this will be.
