Re: Certification Magic Number??

Apr 19, 2019

EAS has some secret algorithm to rank applicants, but is there a minimum, magic number of certs to get a referral?? I know that the more the merrier, but I have targeted (and I know I qualify for) 7 different areas. Is that enough??

HR told me yesterday that all excess teachers have been placed, so that is inspiring- however, if I don't even have a chance with just 7 certs, that would be nice to know. I am dual certified in elementary ed and middle level math, plus gifted and talented at both levels. I have domestic and international experience and I know its a long shot but if its impossible I won't waste my time. Please advise!

Mathlete @Haha is upper defined as graduate school classes, or anything higher than 101 level? That would be helpful information. I am looking through my transcripts

Mathlete Google says upper is 300 level and above, I hope that is true. Also with a middle level math certification, do the 12 hours need to include upper level?? Because I might not even have enough upper courses for my own degree which is very strange.

haha I believe that the 300 and above is correct. MS should be 9 hours (3 classes) of upper level and HS should be 12 hours (4 classes) of upper level.
