[quote=Anonymous]You'll need to take a bunch of classes and pass whatever certification exams your state requires to get fully licensed if you go the public school route. The classes aren't particularly hard and neither is the exam, but it will be an additional thing on your plate when you start out. A lot of career switchers haven't had to balance jobs and classes for awhile. There's always a sharp learning curve at the beginning but it's manageable if you have a supportive team of coworkers and a good admin. Ask around before you take a job with any particular school, public or private. Your district may try to subtly pressure you to get a special ed certification because there's an extreme shortage of special ed teachers. Don't do it unless you really like working with that population and are okay with 60 hour workweeks for the rest of your career. [/quote]
