Scroll down to “teacher resident” and click through to get details. Basically anyone with a bachelors can be hired on a provisional license.

Come on everyone who said teaching is a cushy job! Come join us! Literally zero barriers to entry now![/quote]

No, it is not part of the process. You have to get your provisional by the end of the year. The way I read it, someone with a psych BA could go teach calculus. If they don’t pass the praxis, they just wouldnt come back the following year. 
Yet my DW who is certified through sixth grade and currently teaches advanced math in 6th can’t take a 7th grade math position until she passes the Praxis? [/quote]

If you [b]read, even these “residents” have to pass the praxis before starting[/b].[/quote]

I still haven't found where you read this.[/quote]

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant that in order to get your provisional license you have to pass—assume that’s part of the rush of qualifications. I’m sure your spouse could teach a different subject/grade without qualifications for the diminished salary (though why she’d want to is a mystery)

What about going after a “6 in the middle” position? Several pk-6 teachers taught 6th grade at Poe when I was there. Holmes and Glasgow have it too.[/quote][/quote]
