Become an Educator through Alternative Teacher Certification

Become an Educator through Alternative Teacher Certification

Have you always wanted to become a teacher, but your parents or others steered you away from this career path? Have your experiences with young people as a coach, tutor, or parent led you to believe that you would find success in the K-12 arena? Do you dislike your current job and wonder if you selected the wrong career field? These are common reasons that many people consider switching careers to become teachers, but the process isn't always straightforward. States have varying requirements and licenses that aspiring teachers must satisfy and obtain, and many people do not have the time, money, or desire to go back to college for a traditional four-year degree in education.

This course will show you how to parlay skills and attributes you currently possess into becoming a certified teacher in the shortest period of time. Taught by a fellow career-switcher who moved from the corporate real estate world and became a certified high school teacher, this course will lay out what you need to do step-by-step to obtain your teaching license and first teaching job. Learn from the experience, mistakes, and successes of someone who has been through the process and now happily works in K-12 and higher education.
