There are many school systems in the Opelika area. Auburn City
Schools has an excellent reputation. Also within driving
distance is Chambers County, Troup County Georgia, Randolph
county, Lee county, etc.. You will probably find a system that
you like. Bo

What part of Birmingham /blockquote>

What part of Birmingham are you staying? Many good places to
eat. Will you have children with you?? If yes, the Birmingham
zoo would be a nice place to visit. If you love gardens, the
botanical garden is across from the zoo. If you like flea
markets, visit Tannehill State Park on trade day, usually a

Why are they not accepting your teaching experience? Did you
fill out the EXP form? So far, I have not heard a word from
the State....to even allow me to go take the test. I have
been teaching since 1999 in MI and then FL. I hope they
accept my experience. I am afraid now.

All of the information regarding certification is on the ALSDE
website. It is actually pretty easy to navigate. I do know that the
state of Alabama will certify you in the field of Elementary
Education if you received your degree in Elementary Education via an
approved program. However, AL does not do the so man...See More

I am sure that you will have to take the ATTP and the Praxis but if you have already taken them you dont have to do them again. I just got certified and didnt have to do this. Some people may have to do different things maybe it was because I am already and Alabama native.
