If you have a state endorsement, are the semester credits needed halved? I ask because I added another endorsement to my state teaching cert.

From the DODEA website:

0333: Teacher, Physics

A major in physics or a minimum of 30 SH in the field of science is required. Course work must include a minimum of 12 SH in physics and a minimum of 12 SH of upper level courses in science.

I have a bachelor's in chemistry, years of teaching physics, but only 10 semester hours of physics. It looks like I might be 2 semester hours short. However, I don't want to take classes If I don't have to since I'm taking Health classes at this time.

So far, I have been qualified in MS General Science, HS General Science, Biology, Chemistry, as well as ES, MS, and HS Library Information Specialist (odd combo I know) and was looking to add Physics too. These are all subjects I really like to teach, so no worries there.

Sorry for the ramble, back to the que...See More

haha Ask HR specifically. Normally I would also say 12 but I seem to recall someone who posted that the specific subject hours were also halved for them. It's worth an email.

OverThere Thanks to you both. I'll double check with HR. I guess if I need two more credits, I'll pick them up in the fall since I'm up to my ears right now between distance teaching and working through 9 semester credits in health.
