URGENT: Should I take Teach Now? (with MA in Education from Nottingham)
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 11:17 am
Hi all,
I had completed both PGCEi and MA in Education at University of Nottingham, but I don't have any teaching certificate.
After reading many posts in this forum,I found it's nearly impossible for me to apply US credentials directly.
While I only have 1 year post PGCEi experiences, I don't think I am qualified to apply CT credentials.
Massachusetts (MA) provisional credential (entry grade) require all applicants to take METL.However, applicant must have Massachusetts Education Personnel ID (MEPI) to take METL.
So the most feasible way for me to get US teaching certificate is Teach-Now program but this will cost USD6000 and 9 months.
I am wondering if it's worth to spend money and time to get the DC & HI credentials.
Another way is to apply QTS through AO route but I have to get a job in a UK school first.
Are there great advantages to have western countries (for example US) teaching certificate when applying for tier 1 or tier 2 IS in Asian countries?
Is QTS more recognized compare to US teaching certificate?
I am Asian, non-native english speaker, which is less competitive in the market. So trying to make myself more marketable.
Thanks.
