Dan,
 
Wow!  You have a unique set of talents and experiences and achievements.  I
dont know how many (if any) Washington schools offer Turkish or even Greek... 
   Majoring in archaelogy/anthro would be a better bet.  (Coaching sports
always helps your resume look appealing.)  Why not major/minor in computer ed? 
 Since youre into telecommunications, etc., Id bet that is an interest of
yours.
 
You asked what the requirements for teacher certification are in Wash., and if 
life experiences count for anything.  You should be able to find the specifics 
about the requirements  from your local Educational Service District, or a
local universitys ed. department.  (i am assuming from your line of origin on 
your message that you live in Tacoma now.)  They are too detailed for me to
research and send you info that would cover all your bases.
 
Washington legistlators recently recinded their mandates that all teachers
earn their masters degree, but have built a masters degree into the pay
scale.  Some colleges now offer a Masters in Teaching program aimed at adults
who wish to get their teaching certificate as well as a Masters.  But I think
they are aimed at  people like my husband who already have their bachelors but 
not in ed.
 
There are a few ways of getting a teachers certificate based on skills and
experience and expertise w/o having a teachers certificate.  Your source of
infor on teachers certification should have access to the particulars on that. 
 It isnt widely used, however.  
 
In my experience and observations, private colleges/universities ($$$$) are
more likely to give you credit for your life experiences than are state
universities.  (They still charge you for the credits, but they waive some
classes.)  Evergreen State University and the Heritage Institute (Antioch
University in Seattle) are two programs that particularly cater to unique
individuals designing their own goals and programs.  (I think Fairhaven is the 
name of another such institution.)
 
 
It is expensive.  The more a university costs, the more likely they are to
assist with financial aid.  There are government loans that are fairly
available; I cant  remember the name of the most frequently used one.  My
sister just graduated from Gonzaga University (one of the most expensive in
our area at $10,000+ just for annual tuition).  She owes $60,000!!  Anyway,
she said that grant money dries up for people who already have a bachelors;
grants are more readily available for those like yourself who would be earning 
a first degree.  Grant information should be available at local
colleges/universities.   Our public library downtown has someone who has a
database of grant information so you can try and match your needs and
qualifications to their  requests.  
 
This is long enough for now!
Good luck, Dan!
 
Julie

I am a 20 year veteran of the Army with a deep love of history.  I
was fortunate in my early days to have had a faithful pedagogue who
brought the love of history into my life and it has never left me.

In my travels around the world I have been fortunate enough to see
some of the places he taught me about.  The Forum in Rome, the
Church of St Sophia in Istanbul and many others.  I have seen the
throne of Charlegmagne and the Baths of Caracalla.  In Germany
I obtained permission from a local monastery to get lost in their
library.  I learned to hate the need for sleep and eating.  

Whoa - enough sap.  I guess what I'm trying to say is there is a
retired Army Sergeant with about a year and a half of Comp Sci
that wants to teach history.  I need help in getting through school
with a family and a house to pay for.     I've got the GI bill
but that's not going to see me through my other obligations.

Am I too late?

Dan

Dan,
You didn't say how old you are, but if you started in the Army young you still 
have a lot of good years ahead.  If you really want to go into teaching, GO
FOR IT!  But make sure that you realize that much of a teacher's job entails
paperwork, discipline, beaurocracy, etc. Make sure you get classroom
experience as soon as possible to see if you can take the rest of the job that 
goes with trying to share your love of life and the world with the students!

My husband turned 45 this year; he is just starting his second year in his own 
fourth grade classroom.  He had been thinking about going into education for
many years, and finally did it!  (He had been in banking.)  He had a B.S., but 
not a teaching certificate.  It took a couple of years of going back to school 
(at first part time); he subbed for 1 1/2 years.  Getting a teaching job in my 
town is extremely hard.  But he did!  And he's glad he did.

So if you really want to do it,  follow your dreams.  It's hard to do
financially, but can be done.

Good luck!
Julie from Spokane

Hello, Great idea!  I'm sure there are some folks here, in Mobile, AL, who would join that effort.  I can think of several young deaf adults
who have good jobs and educations, who would love to be role models (via
modem) to some kids.  I myself interpret for deaf adults and kids and would like contact with other interpreters out there.  Please help me if you can.  In our town, is a regional school for hearing impaired children K-12 (self contained and mainstream programs) and we have a very enthusiastic center for the deaf and hard of hearing.  Both of which I feel could work with you.  Here, we have an other regional center of the state school for the deaf; they are really active with counseling students in our are





a.  Also, in our city is the very active local chapter of the N.A.D. (nat'l assoc. of the deaf).  They are always bringing nationally know Deaf leaders to town to lecture on specific topics.  We really have a lot of support in Mobile and would welcome the oppurtunity to "chat" with others from far away.  Drop me a line if you're interested.

anyone knows of a BBS run from a school, could you please post it her
Ours is below.  I know of a couple of others...I'll post their number
after I get them from my dialing directory at home.  I know Ken Blystone
runs a big BBS down in Texas, but I don't have that number offhand,
either.
   We should probably move this thread to a different conference.  Do
you have access to the K12Net Computers conference?
