Post: California teaching intership/certification dilemma
Posted by Jay on 7/14/08
I've completed my masters and I've decided to teach high
school. My friends who teach completed their certifications
through the University while they were working towards
their degrees and were offered positions upon graduating.
So these are my questions ... I finished my MA at a
California university and plan to live in CA long term, but
I'm in NJ at the moment. I want to teach high school art
classes, which will require a single subject certification.
1)Should I try alternate route here in NJ or just head to
CA and take the CBEST+CSET? Are there any complications
with having an out of state certification?
2)If I go to CA and past the required test how would I go
about getting an internship/alternate route so I can
complete student teaching? I've searched www.ctc.ca.gov and
some other sites but can't seem to find a clear, definitive
answer.
sorry for the length, any help would be awesome
