[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all news to me! I have a doctorate in education and have applied to multiple teaching jobs at MCPS and have not received a single interview. I've been told directly by MCPS central office staff that I will need to do another year of schooling to get a license if I want to work. [/quote]
Look into the ACET program at Montgomery College. It’s an accelerated certification program in partnership with MCPS. They are taking applications for the next cohort right now. (And that’s the program that Gov. Moore sent funding to add a Feds-to-Eds cohort last summer).[/quote]

yes, I have spoken with ACET. I was hoping that some of my credits from my doctoral program might count so that I could pay less for the program and move more quickly into teaching but I was told I would have to take the full ACET program - even though I have literally taught some of the courses myself at higher education institutions. It is very frustrating and doesn't seem financially smart, given how much I already paid for my doctoral degree (paid off, fortunately). I'd just really like to teach as a second career.[/quote]

How do you have a doctorate in education and not be able to teach?

I would try to work at a community college instead. MCPS is likely not worth it.
