and some other stuff about big decisions

[la_belle_laide]

After that I made some calls to some colleges re: teaching certificates. At my alma mater, no one picked up and there was no answering machine or voice mail. O_O O-kayyy. I called three more places. One might actually have the program, but no one answered and I left a message. The other, I spoke to a guy who had never heard of any alternate route transitional courses in education certificates and said, "Well you have your BA and you want to teach, so just come on down and get your master's; it's two years if you go full time." He made it sound like I would just pop down for a cup of tea, ladeeda, two years, Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt, get my MA, no worries! Like I can just go back to school full time, you know, not work and all of that stuff.

I ask you!

The third place I called, I spoke to a lady who informed me that the test I'd thought I had to take in order to begin the process hasn't been valid for ten years.

Well, I put it out there. I'm just waiting for some call-backs and we'll see what comes up. No use in worrying about it until someone gives me some information

My Alma Mater (Ashland University, Ashland.edu) is well known around the state for its teaching program. They have a "Plus One" plan where you get your bachelors and then spend one extra year to get certified to teach in it. Maybe this is what you were wanting? Or, maybe they would have the program you are looking for?

Just tryin' to help :)

Err, well, it kinda has to be on the island, otherwise I'd just nip over to Manhattan for the nine month thing. ^_^ I've already got my bachelor's, so. ^_^

We'll see.
