[quote=Anonymous]15:21 here with some more information about becoming certified via the Career Switcher program in Virginia. I did a semester of coursework (most of it was online but there were a few in-person sessions on saturdays) to get a provisional certification. The next year, I was a full-time teacher and directors from EducateVA (the name of the program) dropped in to observe and give advice, then I got my 10-year certification. The coursework wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and I'm really glad I wasn't doing it at the same time I had a full-time job. But the path to certification was pretty simple. I think that other states have things like this as well, and in some areas they will just straight-up hire an uncertified teacher. I think fairfax hires uncertified teachers as some kind of teacher intern program? I dunno. Anyway, it's not hard to become a teacher these days. [/quote]
