I am a teacher in MO. My certificate is elementary education. I am wanting to further my education and add an additional certification to make myself more marketable (currently unemployed as elem ed is not in demand).
I am looking at different options, and I am considering either Special Reading or Visually Impaired. Is either of these a big need in Missouri? Or, should I look into something else?
I would certainly appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks!
my wife and i are considering moving to St. louis and both are currently middle school teachers in Columbus Ohio. What is the current job market like there.

I don't know that it helps you much now (Nov. 8), but I went to the conference and it was OUTSTANDING!!!!! I already have it on my calendar for next year. I definitely recommend it!!!
Is anyone concerned that they won't be able to teach using the new standards of "highly qualified" described by NCLB? Especially those of you who are middle school or elementary Lifetime certified and who don't have a master's yet? We didn't have to take exit exams or the Praxis. Will we have to take exams in all the areas we teach? Does anyone know anything?
Highly Qualified Teachers: To be deemed highly qualified, teachers must have: 1) a bachelor's degree, 2) full state certification or licensure, and 3) prove that they know each subject they teach.
State Requirements: NCLB requires states to 1) measure the extent to which all students have highly qualified teachers, particularly minority and disadvantaged students, 2) adopt goals and plans to ensure all teachers are highly qualified and, 3) publicly report plans and progress in meeting teacher quality goals.
Demonstration of Competency: Teachers (in middle and high school) must prove that they know the subject they teach with: 1) a major in the subject they teach, 2) credits equivalent to a major in the subject, 3) passage of a state-developed test, 4) HOUSSE (for current teachers only, see below), 5) an advanced certification from the state, or 6) a graduate degree.
High, Objective, Uniform State Standard of Evaluation (HOUSSE): NCLB allows states to develop an additional way for current teachers to demonstrate subject-matter competency and meet highly qualified teacher requirements. Proof may consist of a combination of teaching experience, professional development, and knowledge in the subject garnered over time in the profession.
I've been wondering the same thing. I am currently our elementary Title I Math teacher. I hold a lifetime grades 1- 8 elementary certification.
Under the HQT requirements, must I have a math endorsement?

My wife and I are originally from and are looking to return to Southeast Missouri. However, we must first be able to secure jobs before we are able to do anything. If you are someone who knows of possible openings in Southeast Missouri in the fields of Elementary and Middle School Science Education/ESL, please email as we are anxious to hear from you. I have 3 years inner-city experience in teaching Sheltered Instruction Science grades 6-8. My wife has taught for 4 years in the inner- city and has experience in grades 2, 4, and 5. Again, if you have any information or are able to help we would appreciate your time and would like to hear from you.
Yes, the reading teacher opening is the one I am interested in. Do you know the requirements for the position. I do NOT have a special reading certificate, nor do I have experience teaching reading. I am certified elementary, grades 1-6 and middle school language arts, grades 5-9. Would I qualify for the position?
My email address is [email removed]
