Hello, I am a teacher just finishing my second year in
lower el, and I have discovered that I LOVE it and am
interested in getting my early childhood endorsement!
However I know that you must do student teaching which of
course conflicts with work...I've been researching it and
found that apparently experienced teachers can have it
waived but the document I'm reading does not seem very
clear if you still have to have work experience in two
different age groups or if you can waive the entire
requirement. (I've posted it below if anyone wants to
look).
So I was just wondering if there are any other teachers out
there who have gained their early childhood endoresement
while they were teaching, and if so, how they did it and
what school they went through...having some info will be
good as I continue to look into this with the state.
Thank you in advance.
