Re: obtaining QTS/US teaching license questions

Hi @PsyGuy, I wonder if you can give me some advice on my options for getting professional, permanent licensure in the US. I have read all your feedback on this forum, but am still not sure about the steps I should take.
My qualifications:

A-levels in 2 Sciences and Maths.

BSc from a UK university.

PGCE (without QTS) (Don't know if it makes a difference but I was amongst the first cohorts to complete Sunderland's PGCE while teaching overseas in 2004, and my certificate does not mention "international".)
The PGCE transcript shows 60 "level 2" credits, and 100 "level 3" credits, but no "Masters level"
I completed two 6-week "practice of teaching" modules- one at level 2 and one at level 3. Each one was 40 credits.

I have an MEd in Education from the US (studied in person at a well known brick and mortar university).

I have well over 5 years of full-time teaching experience, some at international school overseas, some at a private school in the US.

I currently live overseas, but I have dual citizenship. It is most likely we will move back to the US, however I would like my licensure to give me the option to apply for QTS should I choose to move back to the UK at some point.

Initially I had planned to look into all of this while in the US this summer, but due to current global circumstances I am stuck overseas.
Would love to hear your thoughts?

Sorry Boomba for jumping on your thread)

Re: Help with license

@psyguy I have read many of your posts re: PGCE/PGCEi and US credentialing. I wanted to ask you for some specific advice about my situation but I do not have the option to message you. Any chance you could send me a message?
