I am interested in getting my teachers certificate from an on line program or program local in NH. If anyone has information on good programs and/or NH certification requirements, I would appreciate the info. Also if possible, would like to teach math while getting certificate. Ideas on how to make that happen are welcome.
The NH department of education site has certification options and requirements listed. I am currently working on alternative 4 certification for mathematics. The first thing that you need to do is obtain a statement of eligibility. Once you hold that, a superintendent is permitted to hire you. Once you are hired, you will need to take the Praxis 1 and 2 and create a plan for how to meet certain competencies (The school district will assign a mentor to you to help to write out the plan). Anyway, the site is [link removed]!
I am just applying to the state for an SOE in Science (I'm certified in SS, so I do have all the education requirements and I have enough science to get the SOE) how, easy or hard was it for you to get a job once you have the SOE?
I would have to take a few math courses before I would be able to get SOE in Math. But I am thinkning of doing that. Since you are doing it do your recommend this route? Does the school you work for give you any tuition reimbursement?
Thanks, Dot

Hi, Well...how easy or hard is a tough question to answer...my situation is quite unique. I got the SOE in september of last year, so there were not any job openings. I happened to see the job that I currently have in the newspaper in the middle of February (not a normal time for teaching positions to open up). I am not sure, but I think that most schools would hire someone who is already certified over a qualified person who only has an SOE. I had already taught for a year at a Christian school, so I had experience, which helped a whole lot with the cert. process. I think that Alt. 4 is a great way to get certified. And, yes, my school (Franklin High) does reimburse some for continuing education. Good luck!
