flutetoot Make sure you do your research before getting certified! There are very few jobs available here, and I can tell you from experience, if you are elementary, English, Social Studies, Art, Music, etc you have almost no chance of getting a job. I hate to be blunt, but the market here is flooded and there are almost no openings in these areas.

I know teachers who have graduated from the undergraduate elementary program as well as the Master's program in educational technology, and both have exemplary skills. Southern CT State University in New Haven also has an excellent education program - I know that their special ed. program is very good. Both of those are within the public university system, and once you have lived in-state for the required time you would qualify for in-state fees.

St. Joseph's College in West Hartford has one of the best education programs in the state, but is a private school and therefore the tuition is MUCH higher.

Depending on what you are planning on getting certified in, the job market is over- crowded. Some people I know with degrees in 7-12 social studies and math have never found a job, but interview skills and how they present themselves also play a major role with some of the people I know. The best bet is to not lock yourself into one idea of where you want to teach - the more open you are to different regions, different types of schools, and different types of jobs the more options you will have.

Good luck!

Diana thank you, I pretty much wanted ideas about schools where i can get certify. I'm not interesting in job position right now, since i know that i need to get certify first. and for that, i need around 2 to 3 years more and hopefully the economy will be better and baby boom teachers generations will be retired. Also who knows if i am staying in CT, i ...See Morethank you, I pretty much wanted ideas about schools where i can get certify.

Also who knows if i am staying in CT, i have the opportunity to teach abroad so i may take it. specially if there is no jobs ha!. Thank you very much for your ideas, i will look forward to check into these schools this coming week since i am planning to visit CT . Cheers.. and have wonderful holidays to all!! :) On 12/10/11, Jenn wrote: > Depending on where in the state you live and your price range - > Central CT State University in New Britain has an excellent > education department.

Carolyn Try the University of Bridgeport or Sacred Heart University. They have a free certification program while you work as an intern. The district you internship in will pay for your education as you intern form them. There are classes to attend and a student teaching piece too. Good Luck!
