Please bear with us as we work to provide a better web site for you. Decide what level you want to teach - there are different age groups you can work with. Decide where you want to teach - there is a high demand for teachers in both urban and rural areas. Decide how to pay for your education and other necessary expenses - receiving a degree and taking the tests necessary to complete the credential process can be expensive. Traditional programs require two to three semesters of coursework and student teaching.
Blended programs combine undergraduate coursework and credential requirements.
In these programs you receive teaching experience while in school. By going this route, you can get a credential in less time than in a traditional program. Intern programs provide in-class experience while you complete the credential requirements.
