    Are you bilingual? Can you pass the 190 BTLPT that tests
    that? ESL and Bilingual are two different things in Texas. The
    "ESL" certifies you on a delivery method of teaching. Bilingual
    is very different. For those of you that are fluent in reading,
    writing and speaking, take the 190-BTLPT. You also will have
    to do the 291 Core Subjects EC-6 and the 164 Bilingual
    Supplemental. Don't be a crying dumbass about paying $135
    for the tests. You are also an idiot if you accept anything
    beyond $51-$55k your first year of teaching. Save 164 for
    last. Pass the BTLPT and show the report to a school district.
    They will have their nose up your butt in seconds. You can't
    get hired with just that, but if you can pass that you can pass
    291 EC-6. SPEND THE DAMN MONEY with certifyteacher.org
    for the big assignment. Go to www.texasteachers.org > Study
    and actually study! You made it through college, so why is
    this any different?
    I have worked with some AMAZING counsellors via
