TEACHERS

You need your ba in Education correct?
I have a bba in business????????????

I'm no longer a teacher, I have a degree in elementary ed but had such a bad student teaching experience i changed my mind.

But i believe as long as you have a Masters Degree in education it doesn't matter what your bachelors is.

You need to take certification exams too.

You would need to go back and get a masters in education, student teach, and take certification exams.

Do you want to teach business?

Im not sure yet., I just want to know what you have to do lol

lol, as far as I know, if you go get a masters in education, you could teach business, with your bachelors in business.

I'm not sure how it works if you want to teach in a different area, it may require a masters in education and a certain number of credits in the specific area you want to teach.

You would definitely need the masters, student teaching, and certification tests.

I just did the same thing. My undergraduate degree is in Criminal Justice, but i am now a certified teacher. I just had to get my masters in education and pass the certification tests. Student teaching is included in your master's degree...so it's not really a separate thing.

Lisa...my friend had a ba in computer science. She went back to school and got her masters in elementary ed and currently teaches 3rd grade in the bronx. Most colleges and universities have programs for people who did not get their undergrad degree in edu.
For example Iona college has what is called the transition a and transition b program.


Like the girls said you would have to take the proper tests that go along with your area.

If you want to get your masters in education and you have your bachelors in something totally different, you can go through the NYC Fellows Program.

Are you interested in teaching in NYC or LI?

If you join the teacher's fellows program through the department of education (NYC) you can teach while getting your masters degree (and NYC will pay for your masters). You can also sub part time with a BA and work on getting your MA.

I'm not sure about LI though.

In order to teach secondary, I believe that you just need to have a certain number of undergrad credits in the subject you want to teach. Say you want to teach math...you will need X amount of math credits and if you dont have them alot of colleges will offer them to you at the nassau/suffolk county college rate.

And of course you need to student teach and pass all the cert. tests like everyone mentioned before.

ETA...I also have a bba in business and went back to teach business in hs and i was missing a couple credits so they let me make up the credits while taking grad classes.
