Wanna know the basic requirements to become a single-subject Social Science California teacher?????
- Pass a CBEST Exam ($30 per section; 3 total) (Or get a B or better in required coursework)
- Pass the CSET Exams ($99 per subtest; 3 total).
- Complete a Teaching Credential Program (2 Years of extra post-BA/BS education) (Varies, but may cost $20,000 - $30,000)
- Complete Student Teaching (3 - 4 months of full-time unpaid lead observed teaching).
- You have to pay for other exams for your assessment of being observed and even more, depending on multiple subjects.
- Not to mention the background check, fingerprinting, and other fees that may require renewal.
Requirements to teach at a junior college:
- A master's degree OR a master's degree in a different discipline with 18 graduate credits in the respective discipline you are applying to teach.
- 1 - 2 Years of post-BA/BS education which may cost $20,000 - $30,000 (Your masters degree program)
- No exams to prove you are a subject expert.
- No credential is required.
I think I understand why we have a national teacher shortage. Like just incorporate Teaching credential programs with existing master's degrees with like 4 - 5 extra education classes to prepare to teach. A master's degree should be enough to prove you are an expert.
I was wanting to get a credential in social science, but fuck that extra debt and nonsense exams. I heard most of your learning of becoming a better teacher is done on the job. I'm not bashing K-12 teachers, but this is to bring awareness to how much our society SHIT on teachers and does not respect how much effort they do for their dream career to teach kids who most likely won't respect them and be disrespected by parents who don't even have an undergrad degree or a high school diploma.
FUN FACT: Not only do the fucking exams cost a lot if teacher candidates fail them, but a major reason why they do not finish their program is because they cannot afford to work full-time for free. Internships are challenging to get and must be approved by the CTC.
FUN FACT #2: California used to require a community college teaching credential, but that requirement was removed because of a professor shortage. LOL
AGAIN... WHAT THE FUCK. I rather be a sub and tutor while teaching sociology courses at a community college than get credentialed for K-12...
I think every student has encountered problems writing dissertations and I am no exception. When I had such problems, I immediately took the help of specialists https://www.thesiswritingservice.com/engineering-thesis/ They helped me with writing and the work was highly unique.
