Q: I'd like to become a teacher, but I don't know
where to start. Can you help me?
A: Our suggestion
would be to set up a meeting with a college advisor from an area
college or university that offers an education program. At that time discuss your
interests with the advisor and he or she can best assist you from there.
Q: I'd like to teach in another state. How do I know
which states will accept my teaching license?
A:
Virtually every state today has reciprocity with every other state.
Q: I live overseas
and wish to work in the states. Where do I begin?
A: Assuming you have the equivalent of a degree in
education or in a specific field of study, you need to have your
transcripts evaluated by an independent agency. You should also find
out if the agency you intend to use is licensed in the state you wish
to work in. Most school districts in the US will ask for your course
work to be compared to study in the US before they will hire you.
Q: I am interested in learning
about school districts that wish to hire non-traditionally trained
teachers. Do you know of any?
A: Yes there are many
school districts and states that offer such programs. Two of the more
established programs are with the New York City Public Schools and the
Los Angeles Unified Public Schools. Their Teaching Fellows program
hire teachers with a BA degree in a field other than education and
assists teachers with obtaining a Masters Degree in Education.
Teachers are hired to work in districts in need of quality teachers.

receiving emails from WantToTeach.com even though I checked off send
