I will be receiving my college degree after a 20 year struggle. My degree is in Social Science from UMUC. Due to the many obstacles I experienced (losing jobs, raising children, extreme poverty), my grades are not were I would like. I will be graduating with a 2.5/2.6 GPA. I REALLY have a desire to teach and I know that my grades are not a reflection of my capabilities. Is there any route that I could pursue to still get into a teaching program? I want to teach elementary school and becasue of my age, I really do not want to wait until after I receive a master's to do so....
MM Look into Teach for America or PG County has an alternative certification program.
