[QUOTE="Martie, post: 60985, member: 284"] Nancy, I never took an education course as an undergrad. I was initially certified at the master's level. I do not think that matters as long as one "learns how to teach" somewhere, at whatever level. It would have been really undesirable for me to repeat undergrad just because I did not expect to teach, ever, LOL, and look what happened. I meant what I said about professors: I believe I am a good college level instructor because I was a certified Special Education (and h.s. content area) teacher. I just transferred those skills to older students. However, there is no requirement that university faculty know ANYTHING about teaching, and many don't. I agree grade schools have more flexibility: my kids' el. school had an "artist in residence" for a year who was not certified and that was allowed even in a public school. I think the public h.s. would have been too rigid for that. Good thread you started! Martie [/QUOTE]
