[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't have a degree in teaching and teach in MCPS. GASP!

But you have a teaching license, right? Private schools don't require that.

Now, but I wasn't certified for the first five years. (That is the "license")

MCPS doesn't do it anymore. They used to hire teachers under provisional certification which meant you didn't need to be certified as long as you were working towards certification. I think it is a shame because there are some great people out there that could be awesome teachers but just because they don't have the degree/certification, they can't do it (unless they go private)[/quote]

Well, so you lied in your first post. [b]You have a teaching license now, which means you have a degree in teaching[/b]. You're also disingenuous by excluding the salient fact that you could hired under a provisional license IF you were working towards certification at the time of your hire.

Obviously, you have no respect for licensure requirements. That's fine. Luckily, MCPS and virtually every other jurisdiction in the country disagrees with you and recognizes the very simple fact that being good at Math doesn't make you a good teacher of Math.

These great people you know [b]who[/b] could be awesome teachers *can* be good teachers. All they have to do is learn how to teach.[/quote]

Not the PP, but you can become certified through several different routes. Not all of them require a degree in education.  There are post-bac certification programs that don't lead to Masters', and options for adding education courses at the undergraduate level that meet the certification requirement but don't lead to a second major in education.
