Hi,

I am confused about alternative licensure. The university
programs that prepare people for alternative licensure want
you to have a teaching job before they will admit you to
the university program. Isn't this backwards? Why would a
school district hire someone with no teaching experience
and no education credits? Wouldn't it make more sense for
someone to spend a year gaining the education credits
first, and then try to get a teaching job? Is there a way
to do what I am suggesting - which university would do
this?

Thank you.
