[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sad thing is that they make you jump through so many hoops for no reason. I was hired as a probationary teacher and went directly into teaching. Had to do all the certification classes on the side while teaching full time. Also had to take multiple praxis exams. Most of the certification stuff was busy work. It didn’t help me at all. I think it mostly exists to keep university education departments in business. The certification courses could all be condensed into 3 months [/quote]

What is it you wanted help with? It just introduces the basics… Every school or cert program is a bit different but you really don’t “learn” until you are in the classroom.  And then it’s constant PD. It. Never. Ends.  FYI - Moreland was 9 months when I went there years ago and I felt prepared.  Classroom management is not something that can be taught though.  You  have to be integrated in a classroom to really learn that skill.  And even then your techniques can change if you switch grades levels or subject matter.  And if you have a horrible admin….then your job becomes an absolute nightmare.  It’s hard going from industry or corporate to MCPS. They operate on their own bandwidth and professional behaviors you expect from superiors is non-existent.  Just my personal experience.    [/quote]
