Education Route
EC-12:
Traditional Certification :
- You will need 18 credit hours (12 credit hours + internship) in the Fall, Summer, or Spring
- All classes needed to take.
- This program is designed to prepare students to teach dual credit courses and/or courses at the community colleges. The student will design a program with the 12 core hours and the remaining 18 hours taken from a combination of additional Curriculum and Instruction courses and/or courses selected from another area(s) of interest. The minor hours may be taken in education or any teaching or interest field.
My
Thoughts: Heaven knows that I
do not want to teach and I would not be able to afford the added two
years this will most likely take to complete. That will put me in
college for a total of 7 years, that's a little much to only have a
BFA and a teachers certificate.
EC-12:
Alternative Certification:
- To get anything done you need a bachelors degree with at least a 2.5 GPA
- To show your knowledge of your desired field they give you a test in that subject
- Once you pass this test, you are given course work with homework and assignments. This is available online, in person, or a hybrid of the both.
- Then after this you are put in a clinic period. You have to hold down an on the job field experience job for 12 weeks.
- After this is completed you take the PPR. And then you are are the owner of an alternative teaching certification.
My
Thoughts: With a great bundle
price with payment plans, this $4,195 route seems the better way to
go. Yes, this does has its own set of headaches but at least
everything is payed for all in one. This price includes the classes,
your tests, and study materials.
Post-Secondary:
Community College:
To
teach at community college level one must have a MA of MFA with 24
hours of instruction within your preferred field.
