Adding Qualifications

by oldshack

Oct 20, 2020

I am sure this really boils down to personal preference; however, I am curious if anyone has any insight as to what order I should add qualifications. I currently hold 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and middle school social studies.

These are what I am interested in:

--Kindergarten

--Career Education Coordinator

--Gifted and Talented

--Library Information Specialist

--Middle School Language Arts

--Middle School Journalism

--Middle School Speech

--Elementary/Middle P.E.

Any tips would be appreciated!

If you can add certs through testing in your state...See More
