Teacher Certification Test Class

Michelle,

most schools require a bachelors degree plus the teacher certification, I dont think it has to be a BS in education. Go here for more info:

Ditto to the others - you should check out the SBEC website.

As far as test tips - it's a matter of knowing the key terms the exam is looking for. When you attend the study courses or classes at university, you will notice the key words in the questions and answers that will be the choice they want you to make. No answer is 'wrong' but there is a best choice and second best choice per question that they are looking for. You will be given sample exams that will give you a clearer picture.

I took the professional development exam - the one every level has to take, the secondary English exam, and the all level P.E. - all had the same noticable patterns.

I'm glad you want to be a teacher! We need more and we need good ones that want to be there!

which test are you referring to?

The certification test.. do you already have a bachelors in education?

I'm a teacher off duty for now but headed back to work this fall. You'll definitely want to check out the link Cindy B posted; it will tell you everything you need to know. You can't just go in and take the test. You have to go through a university program or get a job with a school who can help you get your alternative certification. Good luck.

I think you will have to take some classes before you take the exam. I don't think it as easy as just passing the state test. Good luck!

texas a&m commerce also offers a teacher certification program. you will most likely have to take additional classes to get the hours you need to be certified in a specific grade level and subject. Even if you have a degree. Good luck!
