Re: Is Teach-now or Teacher Ready worth the time or money?

Per the advice here I got to Utah License... FYI to anybody looking back on this they've now ended the program. So it's no longer an option.

Re: Shanghai top schools

I know this is a really an old thread but I thought I'd try my luck. How competitive are these school anyway? Can a teacher with 2 years of experience obtain a position at schools like these? TIA

Re: Is Teach-now or Teacher Ready worth the time or money?

@psyguy thank you so much for your detailed response! I am more drawn to the structure of the Massachusetts certification exams so I've decided to go that route. You mentioned in you comment the MA cert. requires travel? How so? I've contacted my local Pearson VUE testing center and they said that they offer the exam.

Re: Turkey- a new dawn

In terms of safety I am feeling better here than I have since 2016. Things have really calmed down since the coop attempt and the US embassy doesn't hardly send out safety notifications anymore. You would still need to be aware in big crowds but I honestly feel relaxed here. The issue now is more so that the economy isn't doing well and Turkish people feel pessimistic about the situation and some schools have started to pay less or give housing in local currency.

Re: Is Teach-now or Teacher Ready worth the time or money?

@psyguy I've seen that you've talked about the Utah level 1 and the Massachusetts Preliminary licence on several pages. I'm planning on doing one or the other ASAP. But I have a few questions that I hope some people in this community can weigh in on.

1. Are either of these certificates/licences (MA or UT) better than the other? Would an employer prefer one over the other?
2. Would employer see these as lesser certifications? All the job postings I see require licences. Are these enough?
3. Do employers care about how you go your certification? Would they prefer someone who went through Teacher Ready/Teach Now because of the preparation program?

Thank you in advance!
