Post: getting licensed in ut to work somewhere else?

Posted by jeff on 1/05/08

    Last year I completed my MA in political science. This year
    I've been running my own business that I will soon sell to
    pursue a teaching career. I don't have any formal secondary
    education in my college utility belt, but I want to teach
    secondary social studies.

    So I need to get licensed, but I want to teach in another
    state (the salary difference to me just seems too
    compelling to stay). I don't want to pay out of state
    tuition to some outside University, so I'm thinking of
    getting certified here and then looking elsewhere. The cost
    of the license program would be over double if I were to
    move and do it elsewhere. Does anyone have any experience
    with that? Is that crazy?

    I've thought about alternative licensing, but that seems
    like you need to stay put for at least 3 years and I'm
    looking to move elsewhere within a year or so. Any thoughts
    about alternative licensing.

    Also, if anyone has any perspective/advice to offer a
    newbie such as I in teaching secondary social studies I
    would love to hear it!
