online teaching certificates?
I have been looking into a “mostly” online certificate program with OSU.. While I think this would probably be the best way for me to go while switching careers (especially since my city has only one school that offers an art ed cert.)…I can’t help but wonder how I get the proper student teaching I would need from the program. Is this something I would need to do on my own?
I don’t know of any online; they could all be fraud and phishing
Is it really worth it to get a teaching certificate through an online program?Can you get a job as a teacher?
It depends if it is accredited or attached to a bigger University. Some schools have parial online classes and some on site. I think it isn’t a good program if it is only online because you are teaching…you need to be in a classroom at some point!
Be careful though. I know at my school we can tell during job interviews if someone went to a strong teacher school and one who didn’t. I
has anyone obtained a teaching certificate through an online program and found a good teaching job in Texas?

Does anyone know how to get a teaching certificate online?
I’m currently teaching at a school in Costa Rica but when I get back the United States in a year or two I would like to teach in NJ probably. I didn’t study education, I studied English and American Studies and I never worked as an educator in the U.S.
So I was hoping someone knew of a program online, or a place online where I could take some classes to help me understand some of the core principles someone would learn during a bachelors or if anyone knows of any place online to get a teaching certificate. (especially for NJ)
thanks in advance.
wgu.edu
