[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the appropriate Praxis exams to be certified. [/quote] DP. Is taking this test enough to teach in MCPS? I have a Ph.D. in STEM and consider myself strong in math/physics, but I don't want to go through multiple month certification process.[/quote] Unless you want to do a partnership that places you in an open spot with a provisional cert, certification by Praxis is the place to start. The rest of the process such as the background check and your paperwork working through MCPS takes multiple months anyway. That said, MCPS doesn’t place its new hires based on academic credentials. You will be sent where there is need. If you cert in secondary mathematics or science and only want to teach one class, you may end up with offers for lower performing schools initially. You can decline, but it could take years before a single section of an upper level STEM course is offered because it takes a perfect storm to create that need.[/quote]
