Thank you! I appreciate all the suggestions!

I am looking for a good 100% online Educational Leadership Masters program that will not put me into debt (hoping to stay around $12,000 or less). I teach in the Middle East and hold a Hawaii State teaching credential as well as QTS.

I have been looking at the following programs but would appreciate any feedback or recommendations based on personal experience:

University of Nottingham
University of Portsmouth
University of Leicester
University of Derby
American College of Education

@PsyGuy, thank you so much!!! This information is so incredibly helpful. Much appreciated

Hi PsyGuy,

I really appreciate your recommendations. I apologize for confusing you…I am new to all this and just trying to figure out the best option so I can continue teaching abroad with the proper teaching certificate.

Perhaps I am not looking in the right place, but through my research on UCLA’s Extension Education website, I found that the program at UCLA is $11,000. I would be very interested in the program if it is in fact closer to $5600.

In regards to the NJ teaching certificate, I had my mother call multiple times (since I am living in the Middle East) to speak to different staff and confirm the information they gave her about the certificate expiring after a year if I don’t teach there. I will do some more research but would be super interested in speaking to anyone who has successfully transferred their teaching certificate to NJ and is still teaching with it outside of NJ.

I already applied for QTS but unfortunately they informed me that I was not qualified for it with a preliminary credential.

Hello! I am currently teaching Early Years in the Middle East on a preliminary teaching credential from California. As it is quite expensive (around $15,000) to clear my credential in California, I am looking for other ways to keep my credential valid after it expires in 2020.

I have read through all the great advice on this forum and contacted the Department of Education in New Jersey who informed me that if I do not teach there within a year of transferring my credential there then it will become invalid as well as the Department of Education in Hawaii who informed me that I need to complete a State Approved Teacher Education Program (SATEP) to transfer my credential there.

I am interested in finding an approved teacher education program to satisfy the Hawaii requirements as that seems like my best option, but I am struggling to find one that I can do online since I am not in the US. I would also be interested in doing an Early Years certification if it would provide me the same opportunities (I only plan on teaching Early Years) but I have not been able to find a Cache 3 course in Oman. Or if there are recommendations other than this, I am all ears!
