Any teachers here?

[movingsoon2 0]

I just moved from Canada where I taught in the public school system for the past 10 years. I'm trying to get the Indiana teaching licence and then hopefully get a job. Anyone here has tried to do this or is in the process of getting a teaching job? I would like to know your experience.

I would suggest you apply at a school district to be a substitute teacher so you can work whilst getting your Indiana license.

Also, most private schools don't require a teaching cert to begin as long as you have either an MA or a license in another area. Many times you will be hired with the condition of enrolling in a cert program or renewing license in the area within a year of hire.

Good luck!

Jundp, thanks for your reply. That sounds really good!

I have a friend that was a teacher in Syria and moved to Louisiana. She was told that she needed to pass the Praxis inorder to teach here.

I have included the telephone number and website for the Indiana School board in the email. They can answer all your questions about becoming a Highly Qualified Teacher and certification in Indiana.

Indiana also has something called an emergency permit. You might want to ask them about that as well.
