Where can someone apply to be a teacher without a Teaching Certificate? They have a B.S. in Mathematics?

It depends which state you live in. Education is governed by the individual states in the US, and of course by each country's government separately. That said, I encourage you to visit your local school district.

They always need How to Become a Substitute Teacher|substitute teachers. Many will give you basic teacher training and an emergency teaching credential, so long as you have your bachelors degree|bachelor's degree, which you do. You can often get long term substitute assignments.

Your local school district may even push your state's Department of Education into giving you a regular teaching credential. Math teachers remain in high demand, even though other teachers are being laid off left and right because of budget cuts. If your school district won't help you with an emergency credential (or whatever it is called in your state), then go to the website of your state's Department of Education and poke around.

That is the agency which actually issues teaching credentials. It may be that you qualify for some special program somewhere else in your state where they are short on math teachers.

Most states have programs that will allow college graduates with a relevant degree (usually in math, foreign language, or sciences) to become public school teachers. However, you do need a little more than just a bachelor's degree to teach, such as passing a prerequisite exam and some classroom field experiences. You MUST get your teaching certificate to teach in a public school, but there are programs that allow you to get your certificate much more quickly than the traditional route.

For example, I live in Tennessee, and my state has a program called Teach Tennessee, which does just what I mentioned above. This program allows individuals with a relevant degree to "fast track" a career into education. You can do the same if you have at least 24 college credits in the field you wish to teach and at least 5 years relevant professional work experience.In addition, you must pass the PRAXIS exam which guages your readiness to teach.

More info on this program can be found here: state.tn.us/education/teachtn/index.shtml The state of Virginia also has a similar program called the Career Switcher Program. doe.virginia.gov/teaching/educator_prepa... Your best bet is to go to the education department website of the state you are most interested in working to see if they offer a similar route. Even if they do not, there are also many non-profit groups that help those interested find an alternative route into a teaching career.

One great example of this is called The New Teacher Project. http://www.tntp.org/ This organization helps recruit and train prospective teachers who are entering the field from another career. Also, Teach for America is a great organization that you may want to consider: http://www.teachforamerica.org/ Hope that helps!

You can apply anywhere, really. Whether you will be hired, of course, is a different story. If you have a degree in mathematics you would be better served to apply at the middle or high school level as elementary school principals are looking, typically, for early education degrees and do not favor expertise in advanced math.

Of course, there are few teaching jobs anywhere now due to the economy and many states' budget cuts. Getting a teaching job, in general, right now is a crap shoot. If you are looking for work in eduation you are going to be best served to look outside of urban areas in more rural school districts.

Another option is Teach for America. Check out their website - teachforamerica.org/!

This is tough to answer specifically without your local. Many states have a "waiver process' whereby a school district can petition to hire someone without a degree in the topic. By brother in law, whose undergraduate degree is in communications, was hired under a waiver to teach math and science in a middle school in Framingham Massachusetts.

Many private schools do not have the same restrictions public schools do-- I have several friends who are teaching at private schools without a degree that matches their subject.

I currently take classes for elementary education and I've asked many questions about how to teach using a different route than the traditional one. In Indiana you must hold a teacher's certificate to teach in a classroom under any circumstances with the exception of substitute teaching. You can get a teaching degree based on the fact that you hold a bachlor's in math, but you still have to take classes to learn how to teach as knowing the subject and knowing how to teach the subject are two seperate issues.In Indiana we have what is called the "fast track to teaching".

In addition to your bachelor's you are required to attend about 1 1/2 years of schooing in order to get the teaching certificate. The only time a teacher would be able to teach without a teachign degree is when there is an emergency need for teachers, which there is not here in the north. The reason for the classes on teaching is not only so that the teachers can better serve the students but so that the teacher is familiar with the laws that apply to the educational department.

There is also a requirement of taking the Praxis I and Praxis II test which assure the state that the teacher is adept in the areas of genreal knowledge and specifically knwoledge in their own area of claimed expertise. Other than that, I would reccomend a position as a substitute teacher. While this may not be ideal, it does give the future teacher a chance to see if this is the field they really want to go into.

Really, there are many standards that teachers must meet and are different for every state, so the classes for teaching are needed.

I know that some private schools, at least in California, will accept teachers without their teaching credential. I know this because a young teacher presented some controversial material to students, parents followed up, determined the teacher did not have her certificate, and yanked their kid. I'm just backing up my information.So, try the private schools.

That may work. If this person has his or her bachelor's, as you've indicated, that will go a long way in the process, I would imagine. I hope this helps!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
