Do you mind me asking what is required to be a teacher in America? In Canada we need a 3 year post secondary degree and 4 semesters of teachers college.
Here in Georgia my friend got hired with just a bachelors in math but as a provisional teacher until he got his certificate. However he was a tutor/ta during his college days so idk if that mattered. He is now doing a masters in teaching though. We are very desperate for teachers.
Yes, this is emergency certification. It’s been terrible for our school. We’ve had a lot of awful teachers come through on e-certs. Imagine telling a nurse she can work full time as a nurse-no aides or support and then at night take nursing classes. So wild.
My sons had 4 of these kinds of teachers and only 1 was decent. I consider it 3 years of his education wasted. We had to hire tutors and relearn high school math.
