Will anyone hire me if I get Well, I've already got my
traditional 4 year degree by
going to college. Now I want
to do teaching. I heard that
the traditional bachelors
degrees in teaching are a
total waste of time anyways.
University of Phoenix is
suppossed to be accredited and
meets state requirments for
teaching but a principal told
me he would never hire anyone
with that degree and my dad is
a teacher and he told me i'm
an idiot for thinking about
getting the degree online. Has
anyone gotten that degree or
know anyone that has? Will I
be able to get a job?
I want to teach elementary ed.
Are there any states that
would hire me with a BA in
business.

I'm a professor of education and a former teacher. Don't go to U. Phoenix. Find out what the best local teachers college is and go there. There's no shortcuts and even more important than getting the degree is getting real experience working with the kinds of kids you want to eventually teach. Substitute, volunteer, work in after school programs, etc. |

Elementary Teaching Degree Does anyone know if it is
possible to get an elementary
teaching degree online? I have
a BA in Secondary Education
(English major), but have not
had any luck landing a
position. Besides that, my
heart is truly with the
younger children. When I
started college, I was an
Elementary major, but switched
half way through. I would like
to finish it, so I can
hopefully get a job. Any
suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

I'd make an appointment with your former university's career services to see what your options are. Considering you've already done a degree, you might be able to do a shortened course for primary teaching if it's on offer. I wouldn't imagine that you could do a teaching degree online since much of the work involves placements in schools and that might not be possible to arrange (especially these days, when schools like to know that the people they have coming in to work with kids are known to be trustworthy and safe). |

Has anyone ever attended With an emphasis in Elementary
Education. I am looking to
start this Fall 2008. And I
would like for anyone who has
attended to share his/her
experience in the online
program. And if you are a
person looking to start this
Fall 2008, let me know.

Are there any online degree I want to become a highschool
English teacher in Wisconsin,
but am discovering that
Wisconsin is a rather
difficult state to become a
teacher in. I can't easily
afford to accomodate a 20+
hour block of time to be down
on a college campus pursuing a
degree in the middle of the
work week. I do already have a
bachelors degree in Journalism
and a minor in English from
UW-Milwaukee so it is just the
"teaching" aspect that I would
need credits in. If anyone
else has recently become a
teacher in Wisconsin or knows
any way to expedite the
process, please let me know

I'm from WI and went through the same situation as you a while back. I know of no online source for obtaining a Teaching Certification in WI. Colleges like to see their students as part of the evaluation process. Cardinal Stritch will work with you as a part time student but ultimately, you have to commit. This can be upsetting but don't be discouraged. The jobs are out there as people retire and teaching does provide a good and rewarding life. |

What kind of teaching do you want to do? If you teach in a private school you don't necessarily need to have a degree in education. I thought the University of Phoenix offered teaching degrees, but I would not recommend a degree from an online school. It just isn't practical for that career path, and will likely be frowned upon by potential employers. I suggest going to a traditional school that offers online classes. There must be a counselor at the U. of P. that can offer you some advice. Good luck |
