Re: American or Brit Certification/Credential for non-citize

ok.so the best route for me remains CT.followed by QTS,which will put me at par (in terms of payscale/credibility) with sb like jots,for eg, with CA clear in her field?
To sum up my understanding,though both me and jots seem to have many common traits(3 yr bachelor,2 yr masters,4yrs exp.as IT), we should pursue diff. routes due to our intended specialisation(wherein mine relates to my degree)?
gratitude as always..
pls correct me if i got it wrong..and apologise for askin so many ( perhaps stupid) queries,but i want to get it right before i take a step further in my career.

Re: American or Brit Certification/Credential for non-citize

@PsyGuy

Thanks PsyGuy , for all the useful inputs/advice you have been giving on this forum.I sincerely appreciate your efforts at sharing your very useful knowledge.

Ref. your pathway recommendation for a non-US citizen to get a teaching certificate, I would like some more clarification for myself.I have done a 2 year full time Post graduate Diploma in International Business(MBA), and have 4 years full time teaching experience in an international school in SE Asia now.

IF this below route is applicable to me,
"""1) Apply for the CT initial license.
2) Apply for QTS (not necessary but its 15 minutes of time and its free).
3) Transfer/apply for D.C. certification or if you have 3 years of experience the preference is to apply for HI certification.
4) Take the PRAXIS Academic Core, ESOL and PLT exams.
5) Complete the CA verification of professional activities (150 hrs).
6) Apply for CA CLEAR credential."""

Could you clarify what a D.C. certification mean, and if HI means Hawaii, do i fall into category D or some other here(http://www.htsb.org/licensing-permits/l ... -overview/#).

Whats the difference between the DC and HI certification anyway?

Also I looked up step 5 & 6, but m not sure how I can fulfill the requirements like:
"""California Education Code provides two options for private school teachers to obtain Multiple and Single Subject Teaching Credentials. These two options allow private school teachers to use three to five years of appropriate teaching experience in lieu of the student teaching component of a teacher preparation program or six years of appropriate teaching experience in lieu of completing a teacher preparation program including student teaching. Candidates with sufficient private school teaching experience may apply directly to the Commission for the multiple or single subject credential and are not subject to the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) requirement."""

HOW ABOUT THE TEACHER PREP PROGRAM? DO I STILL HAVE TO DO IT,AS ONLY THE TEACHING COMPONENT IS WAIVED FOR MY EXPERIENCE(4 Yrs)?

In addition,the above document(SINGLE SUBJECT AND MULTIPLE SUBJECT TEACHING CREDENTIALS
Requirements for Teachers with Private School Experience) also mentions requirements like LIVE SCAN RECEIPTS,
*Complete a Commission-approved subject-matter program or its equivalent at a California college or university with an approved program, and obtain verification of completion from the authorized person in the education department.
*U.S. Constitution - individuals must satisfy one of the following requirements:
a. Complete a course (at least two semester units or three quarter units) in the provisions and principles of the U.S. Constitution (Submit a copy of the course description for evaluation purposes.)
b. Pass an examination in the provisions and principles of the U.S. Constitution given by a regionally-accredited college, or university

CAN THESE BE DONE SITTING OUTSIDE USA???

PLEEEEEASE HELP!!!
