I'll try to help.<br />I'm not sure if the process for certification in VA is different from where I'm from. I can say that teaching is definately a rewarding and fun career!Mrs. C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14300808092706844459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-42545726542078315542010-03-01T21:55:57.029-06:002010-03-01T21:55:57.029-06:00I have no idea about enrolling for a master's ...I have no idea about enrolling for a master's in education. I have my bachelor's in it. I do know that when I was going through the teaching program that there were quite a few people doing their post-bac's in education. All I can say is that every state does something a little bit different when it comes to teaching degrees and being certified.<br /><br />I teach first grade and I LOVE it! I'm certified k - 8. <br />Good luck! =)Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118939577916059526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-39044717860237435822010-03-01T09:15:04.702-06:002010-03-01T09:15:04.702-06:00Christine- Thanks so much for your comment.

I've included a link that has details in VA, but you may be able to find something in your new home as well. http://scs.richmond.edu/explore.html. Funny that you said you thought about HR- I started teaching and switched to HR.....<br /><br />Good luck!carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648176456040275745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-90884485197762340622010-02-26T20:46:51.084-06:002010-02-26T20:46:51.084-06:00I have no advice to give whatsoever, but I just wa...I have no advice to give whatsoever, but I just wanted to stop in and say HI!RN Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843277989677810339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-746910842301085962010-02-25T19:35:17.504-06:002010-02-25T19:35:17.504-06:00Hey, I'm a elementary teacher in Mississippi. ...Hey, I'm a elementary teacher in Mississippi. It is very easy to get a teaching license here. You just have to have any bachelor's degree, pass Praxis 1 and 2, and take some graduate level classes. You have the option of getting a "Masters of the Art of Teaching" Caroline from Pink Champagne recently did it Texas. You're probably not going to be able to do lower grades though, unfortunately. They usually only do 4th and up.allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034022065746006809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-65852509480041346372010-02-25T10:42:16.108-06:002010-02-25T10:42:16.108-06:00I'm in MD and currently working on my Masters ...I'm in MD and currently working on my Masters in Teaching, with a concentration in Elementary Education. The Masters is Teaching is for college grads with no formal teaching experience, and I did have to take 5 undergraduate prerequisites (math and science, ew). At my school, there are one and two year programs. I would suggest looking for a degree in the state you want to teach, because the requirements vary from state to state and it's easier to just start where you want to teach. My e-mail is on my blog if you have any specific questions I didn't answer! :)Lauren @ Dreams Take Flighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044322187724229514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-45710998442840524062010-02-25T09:59:27.974-06:002010-02-25T09:59:27.974-06:00I feel the same way about being an uninformed mili...I feel the same way about being an uninformed military wife.

I am certified to teach up to 3rd grade. If those are the grades that interest you, most schools have that fall under "Early childhood". El Ed is usually Kindergarten to 5 or 6th grade.<br /><br />I think you would just need to find a school that does Early Childhood as a Masters program. A lot of schools do not have it.<br /><br />Hope I helped. Let me know if you have any other questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389319134454527943.post-66388149682862575092010-02-25T08:47:11.459-06:002010-02-25T08:47:11.459-06:00Good luck with your smooth move class!

I think you would have to complete the whole undergrad program. Except for classes you have already had like gen ed. Hopefully it will be different where ever you move. If you decide to become a teacher I think it will be an awesome decison. It's so rewarding and... you are off all summer!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448796119087802876noreply@blogger.com
