I have met all my 2010 goals!!!

[slimcustomer]

I've taken and passed the Praxis exams for K-5 Elementary Education, Middle School Math, Middle School Language Arts, Middle School Social Studies, Middle School Science, General Science, Social Studies K-12, English K-12, and Comprehensive Business. Certificates for K-8 Supplemental instruction in Reading and Math uses the same Praxis as K-5 Elementary and Psychology K-12 doesn't require one. I'm alternate route Special Ed and may add ESL if necessary.

I need nine more upper level credits in English to be certified in English K-12.

I need to pass the High School Math Praxis exam and earn 9 more upper level credits in Math to get certified in Mathematics K-12.

Since I've already passed the General Science Praxis, I just need to pass the Biology Praxis and earn 27 credits to get my Biology K-12 certificate. I hope that by taking and passing the GRE in Bio this spring, Charter Oak will give me 24 credits toward that in one day.

There is always Physics I guess if nothing pans out. Montclair State graduated roughly 2,000 education majors in the last couple of years and only 1 Physics education major. I wonder if I will be the most certified(or maybe certifiable teacher in NJ.

What content areas is your friend certified in? Usually Special Ed + Math and/or science is the ticket...

Maniac: I started out in 1972 to be a nurse so I have changed my goal 2 times and taken 38 years. Sometimes we have to wait until we are sure what we want before we have the motivation to get it.

I got it today. I am now Eligible to teach both Math and Science to 5-8 grade in the state of NJ. I will only be a provisional teacher for now, but at least I can be a REAL teacher not just a Sub.hilarious

Wow. That is the fastest turnaround I have ever heard of from the State of New Jersey for a teaching certificate. Congrats!
