Extractions: International Employment for Teachers Alternative Certification Many states have developed or are initiating programs that provide alternative routes to teacher certification, particularly for mid-career professionals. The goal of such programs is to draw a diversity of individuals with in-depth subject matter backgrounds into teaching careers. Requirements for an alternative teaching license vary by state. For an overseas position, it does not matter what state your license is from. Generally, applicants must hold a bachelors degree in the subject to be taught, achieve a passing score on state-required examinations, complete an intensive teacher preparation program, and possibly fulfill a supervised teaching internship. Specific information on which school systems are offering internships can be requested from the schools. After satisfactory completion of these requirements, the applicant will be issued a teaching credential.

Extractions: Washington University's Department of Education offers three programs designed for teachers, prospective teachers, and other educators who wish to study on a part-time basis. The following information outlines the range of these programs to help the prospective student select that which is most appropriate. We invite you to read through this information to choose the program that best fits your needs. Then call the Department of Education at Washington University (314/935-6776) to learn about the details of the program in which you are interested. Courses listed in the booklet are described in the University College Bulletin of Washington University, copies of which are available on request from University College (314/935-6700). At Washington University, the teacher education programs are designed to produce teachers who take an inquiry-oriented approach to education. Based upon the belief that teaching is a complex, normative, and changing activity, teacher education is viewed as an ongoing, problem-solving process as opposed to a search for the "one right" answer or "one best" way. Therefore, our students are expected to develop the ability and the inclination to look at educational policy and classroom decision-making from multiple perspectives, and to raise fundamental questions about the purposes, processes, and inequities of the current system. In addition, they are expected to act in ways that have a sound and defensible rationale rooted in research, ethical standards, and personal experience.

Teacher Education The Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program is designed for those with a baccalaureate degree who desire secondary (9-12) or middle school (5-9) teacher certification without seeking another degree. Secondary and middle school can be done together if all requirements for both programs are met including two student teaching experiences. Course work may be completed on a part-time basis through University College (the evening division of the College of Arts and Sciences), which offers substantially lower tuition than the day school. Course work is taken for undergraduate credit. This program leads to teacher certification only; no degree is granted through this program. Requirements for elementary certification are mandated by the State of Missouri and can be found on the State Department of Education web site To achieve certification through this program students will need to fulfill State requirements in two areas: the teaching subject area and professional education.
