Hi, I'm interested in applying for my CT teaching certification. I have three years experience teaching in a private school, a BA and an MFA. I understand it's possible to get certified without tons of coursework if you have experience teaching. Has anyone here gotten certified using this route?

Tuition is about $3700. Courses are every weekend for six months, and a month of student teaching.

Harry How does your 90 day certificate turn into an "initial" certificate?

Also, I'm curious, when were you in ARC, was it ARC I or ARC II, and what subject were you in it for?

Finally, are you teaching right now? Where if I might ask?
