I moved to PA w/o a teaching certificate, but am looking to apply. Do you need a Master's to be certified?

Question

I am currently enrolled in a part time master's degree program in PA and am curious to see if I need to finish it prior to obtaining certification and actually teaching or if I can actually get certified, find employment in the field and then complete my master's in my own time. Also, if there is a requirement for a master's and I am able to find employment in a school, is there a specific amount of time that I need to complete the master's by? Thanks you!

Answer 1

You have to have at least a bachelor's in education in order to teach. If you have a degree in something else and are pursuing a masters in education, then you have to complete it first and student teach before you can actually be certified. You cannot be certified if your degree is not in education.

If your degree is in education then you can get a certificate without a masters degree.

Answer 2

You certainly do not need a masters degree, especially for elementary school. You have to be certfied though. Now, some school districts are very selective (like Radnor and Lower Merion) and a Masters degree as well as experience would be necessary to compete there, but those are not required by PA certification standards.

Answer 3

You should be able to get certified without a master's degree as long as your degree fulfills the requirements for certification.

Answer 4

i imagine that's Bret Hart. I loved it even as they irish whipped him into the turnbuckle and he would merely fall all the way down to his knees. also the knee injuries he suffered on the palms of Stone chilly and on the ninety 4 Rumble. He solds his warring parties strikes quite nicely. it really is what made him so tremendous at making others more beneficial positive. The beatings he toke from Austin and the crushes he toke from Yoko were tremendous bc he surely feels like he's getting the crap beatin out of him. Shawn Michaels and Ric flair are common ones the following yet all I even ought to assert is seem at what they do even as they're irish whipped.... Does that seem strong? Hell no. How about even as HBK is slammed and he flips round like a fish out of water.... Or even as Ric flair takes each and every of the punches and then comes out of the nook and merely falls.... that makes his warring parties seem ridiculous bc in a fashion he's mocking them..... i imagine they're for confident legends yet i'm no longer totally offered on their promoting means.... My authentic 3 are a million. Bret Hart 2. Undertaker 3. Steve Austin
