RBA then alternative teaching certification

by Mary

Jan 26, 2011

I am currently working full time as a computer tech. I want to go back to school to become a teacher but I have to work so it makes it really hard. I have 22 hours left and I can get an RBA. I want to be a Math teacher, can I get an RBA and eventually become a Math teacher like I want?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to know if anyone knows any high school social studies teachers (or is one) who have become nationally board certified. I looked at the information, and it looks very broad and difficult. Thanks in advance for the info.

by teacher and parent

Jan 28, 2011

With all the snow days we have had can the county use Spring Break as make up days? My family already has a vacation planned and paid for that week.

Berkeley Teacher This is true in Berkeley but it depends on how Spring Break was originally put into the calendar

Sue In Hampshire County, we had 2 OS days in the calendar for Spring Break Week that will now be teaching days. Check your calendar to see how your county has determined that week.

JMO All I can say is that the guy has no conscience. Whose eyes was he pulling the wool over? He wouldn't have gotten an interview for the state superintendent's job! But, he pulled off a good bluff, didn't he?

I was once one of those probationary teachers who was treatened with los...See More

So, we bypass a Manchin family member for a member of the McGraw family...

Politics aside, does anyone know what this means for education? As in, will we have someone who will support teachers, or be part of the status quo?
