CT certification?

by Lindsey

Sep 25, 2008

I have my bachelor's degree; unfortunatly; in liberal arts (just a few courses shy of an elementary education major). I graduated in MA but am looking to get certified in CT. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help explain to me how I would go about a CT teaching liscence. Thank you.

flutetoot Go to the CT state dept. of education/bureau of certification website. I don't have it available to me right now, but you can google it and it will come up. You porobably will need some education classes and student teaching if you didn't graduate with an ed degree. Plus, you have to take the Praxis I & II.

Anyone have any advice? Alternatives? This is crazy!!! Thanks!

Relocating to CT

by Sunrae Johnson

Oct 7, 2008

Hello,

I have been thinking of relocating to CT. If I am a certified teacher in NY, will I need to take more tests in order to become certified in CT. Will my qualifications as a NYC teacher be enough?

Thank in advance for your response.

flutetoot Go to the CT State Dept. of Education website and look under "certification" - That should tell you what is required.

TeachBrooklyn Hi,

I was a NYC teacher for 3 years before I relocated to CT. Because I had 30 months experience, I did not have to participate in the BEST program, but I did have to take the Praxis. All those tests you took in NY don't count. Check your SAT scores- if they're high enough, you don't have to take one of the Praxis exams. The others you hav...See More

Where do CT Teachers look for jobs?

by Rebecca

Oct 7, 2008

Can anyone point me toward a place where CT teachers look for jobs (other than CTREAP)? I am looking to hire teachers for part-time instructional work - I have tried craigslist and colleges/universities, but I am unsure of the best way to find qualified people. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

FLTeacher I would also suggest checking the school district's website. Often times they will post jobs on their website.

Demonstration Lesson

by Jen

Oct 10, 2008

I just got asked to teach a demonstration lesson at a Reading First School. I am still waiting to find out what kind of lesson I have to teach.

In the past, I have always done too much in a demonstration lesson. Can anyone make some suggestions on how to avoid this problem so I can land the job?

Thanks! Jen
