Project 3 Pt. 2

Project 3:
Education Route


EC-12: Traditional Certification :

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.

  • You need three years experience in a professional theatre. Must be familiar working with modern sound and computerized lighting systems. To qualify you must either A) have a Bachelor's degree with an emphasis in technical theatre or B) have an Associate's degree from a good source with two years of additional experience or C) 8 years of working experience in a professional institution.



Post-Secondary: Senior College/University:
To be a college professor you first start off as a Assistant Professor. For this you need a Master's degree along with 24 hours of instruction in your field. Once you have taught for six years as an associate you then are bumbed up to an Associate professor. After a few more years of this title, lets say to to 8 years, then you are finally a Professor.
