[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you realize what is going on locally? This sounds like a great program.  That need to find anyone willing to come into a classroom.

Where I work in VA at a local public school, they were giving almost anyone with a college degree of any kind a provisional certification.  No education classes or experience with kids.  It was horrible last year for the students, the people attempting to teach and for the others in the school trying to support them.  No, most don’t return for a second year.

And don’t ask what type of qualifications you need to be a substitute.  You would be really shocked. [/quote]
Emergency certificates have been used by other states.

I'm just a bit floored at the 2.5 GPA.  Again, we have a really low bar for teachers in this country.

Don't really care all that much about the qualifications of short term subs, like a day or two.. but long term, yes, I would care.[/quote]

I’m not talking about subs.  I’m taking about people they are hiring as teachers, right here, in Nova.  There isn’t a minimum GPA.  They need people to fill jobs no one wants.  Don’t start talking about Florida when it is just as bad here.  Go ahead and call any local HR if you have any degree. They will tell you it’s possible to be in a classroom in a month even without a single class or work experience if you can pass a background check.

The minimum qualifications to be a sub in my district now is a high school diploma and “some” college.  [/quote]

You know the difference between a sub and a full-time teacher, right?[/quote]
