Teaching - December 2006

I was certified in Elementary Education back in 1995 in Pennsylvania. What do I need to do to go back into teaching? Is it a matter of taking the NTE's again? I subbed for six months before getting a full-time job in another career back in 1996. I've got the teaching bug again and want to know what to expect to re-enter the field.

Thank-you.

So I'm working on a B.A. in English that has the major left (30 hours) a foreign language (12) the teaching cert (21/student teaching) and directed electives required for the teaching cert (18).

I'm scared that there aren't any jobs teaching English, or they don't pay so well compared to Math/Science.

I also eventually want to get to the CC level, Tenured hopefully. I know I need a master's, I was going to work on that while being a teacher.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible to get a Secondary Certification in Social Studies, to teach history/social studies at a high school level, after you get a degree in history. IE get the degree in History and then get the certification afterwards, possibly much later. I know a lot of states have "emergency credentials" but I'm not talking about that I'm talking about a real nation-wide recognized certification.


I was also curioius if you could get the certification from a different school than you got the history degree. I know most American Universities stipulate that you have to get at least half of your credits from them to get a degree from them but I don't know if the same thing is true for Secondary Certifications.

I once over heard a rumor that if you work so many years under Emergency credentals that you get the real certification but I have not been able to varify that.

So here is my situation. I've always wanted to be a community college english comp teacher. I have recently read that most of the positions are going part-time, Graduate Degree holders are now advised to look for a job outside academia.

I decided to look into the world of Secondary teaching for English. Where I want to live (eastern Texas) there is absolutely zilch.

I then turned my attention to what was needed: Mathematics teachers. When I first entered college, my major was Mathematics.

Changing gears, I looked at what I had to do major in that with a cert. Doesnt seem very devastating, especially at my college (10:1 ratio) and then the next bomb hits. I have to take a trig class, which the university says I havent completed the Col. Alg prereq (I completed it my fresh year, they have the transcript) and it says I need approval. The class I need has -THREE- seats left.

Family health issues, no money, When do you call it quits?

I am a substitute teacher doing a leave replacement. I have noticed that many teachers who do not have a clue on how to maintain their class make more than the ones who do have a better idea. Is it their degree? Is it the amount of in service points? You would think with all the in service points a teacher would do better! I know a teacher in my district who cannot handle her 1rst grade class. A student had noticably different behavior (didnt do HW, very quiet) and I told the mother about this when i saw her! (I subbed for her class often prior to getting the leave position). She talked to the teacher and the teacher gave her a non chalant yes that she saw the difference. When the mother questioned her why didnt she say anything about the HW, the teacher had no answer and walked away! I have subbed for her class many times and I know I can do a damn better job! Alas, I am the lowly sub who is waiting for a teacher to retire to become FT .

My directing teacher gave me a C+ when everyone I talked to got an A at the school I was at. Now I am having trouble finding a teaching job because of the grade and that she would only recommend me for a co-teaching position. I sent my supervising professor an email and asked him if anything could be done. He told me to never contact him again. I don't think the directing teacher liked me because she tried to talk me out of becoming a teacher. I had done very well during my two preinternship field experiences and had a 3.64 GPA until she gave me the C+. I also have been substituitng for three years before my student teaching experience and have never had a bad report.

Do professors prepare their lectures a couple of months ahead of next semester? How often do they practice their speeches if they do? And do they get nervous as well?

Some people have strongly disagreed with me about this. I am a sophomore in college, going to graduate with EC-4 certification. I have been told by the university that student teaching is a must. Also, my mom had to do student teaching, as did my dad, cousin, and aunt. Lately on here, however, people say that student teaching is not required in Texas. I don't know what to think. What were you told?
