Why would anyone pay that when they could get hired with a transcript evaluation immediately? You can take classes while being conditionally certified at UofPhx, while getting full salary, and tuition reimbursement from MCPS. [/quote]

can you elaborate on this?[/quote]

You need to apply with MCPS first...You need a bachelor's degree as a pre-req. They will evaluate your transcript to see how many courses you will need to take if hired. You will be contacted for a pre-screen interview. It's a phone interview with the district. If they hire you, they will offer you and open contract with a conditional certification. You will have two years to complete the required course necessary for certification. In the meantime, MCPS pays (its pretty crappy tuition reimbursement tbh but better than nothing) $1500 (up to 9 credits) every fiscal year. You will likely need to take a couple of Praxis exams. State of MD waives the Praxis core for a few things (at least a 3.0 on your last degree acquired from a college/university; minimum SAT/ACT score) but there will be a PLC Praxis and depending if you are elementary or hs, a teaching reading and content Praxis, respectively. It is the least expensive route to take and you will be working full time with your conditional certification. I'd get started ASAP if you want to be hired this way. The process for initial hiring takes a bit. You can begin here: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/careers/join-as-a-teacher.aspx[/quote]
