I have 10 years of experience and a valid license in 2nd
Eng ED from another state, but the state of NM told me
that I would have to be a student teacher if I wanted to
teach in NM. The program I went through was lateral entry
program so I did not have to do student teaching because I
was already in the classroom. Have you ever heard about a
situation like this? I cannot afford to go back to school
for a semester. Also I feel like my 10 years of
experience should count as some form of student teaching.
Any words of advice or sharing of an experience like this
would be helpful.

Thanks,
