Got a brother in law moving back to this area. If you have a bachelors in business what would it take for you to teach... High school math or history or something?
The other argument would be to just continue on and get a masters to where you could teach at community college.... |

Probably gonna take 2 years of full-time college to pick up the credits needed for cert. Maybe more. Pick a college, look at the subject required courses and compair to his transcript. Look at courses required he has not had. If his degree is several years old he may even have to retake courses.
You might as well get a job as a Walmart greeter as work for a community college. Terrible pay, at least, the ones I know about. Also they are looking for Math and Science types. MBA's are a dime a dozen. A district is allowed to hire a certain percentage of non-certified staff and above poster is correct. The crappier the district the more likely they are to hire an uncertified person. Even then he will be on the clock to get certified or be fired. Working full time and going to school at night is not much of a hoot. |

My wife was a teacher in Georgia with a Biology degree. Decided to teach in St. Louis and had to go through quite a bit. At the time there was a program in place called career transitions for people in your friends boat. It allowed people to start teaching in the St. Louis Public school system while working on their teaching cert but that program no longer exists, at least not in the sane form.
I'll ask my wife what the current situation is, she is in the education department of a local university while she completes her dissertation. ETA: St. Louis community college pays BETTER than the full universities in the MO school system. Don't expect that just because your friend gets a masters that it will open any doors for him there. Alot of places aren't hiring very much so there are plenty of people with doctorates looking for jobs. |

Okay, I asked her what is out there for these situations.
She said that UMSL has a 12 month program that will get him his teaching certificate. That is the fastest program she is aware of from a recognized program. She said to teach while doing it, would require finding a school that would hire him without a cert. She said that St. Louis Community College would be a long shot at best without any teaching experience no matter what his degree is. Lindenwood is a teaching degree factory but is not well regarded in the education world. In other words, not all degrees are created equal. |

My wife, a teacher, said the place to start is to check the MO department of education, as there are a myriad of rules and regs depending on what level he'd like to teach and his current degree. Edit: she sent me this link |

If he has a business degree. It is a tough change to get into teaching. Much easier if he had a science degree and wanted to teach that. Not a lot of high school business teachers. Know some people who have done this and went elementary ed, but it isn't a quick switch. As for teaching at college, don't know how eager they would be without PhD. I have MBA from top 50 school , and a lot professional letters after my name and don't know how many places would let me teach without PhD. As for teaching without certification a lot of schools hate to do it. If they can get someone who is certified they will take them first. As others have said he could have a tough time without a lot of classroom time.
Family members went thought a lot of issues transferring in teaching certs from out of sate so I know a bit of the process here and are in the some of the rules and are in the professional locally. I can ask more questions if it will help you. |
