in the state of utah, you are able to become a licensed teacher if you have earned you bachelor's degree in your given field and are working full or part time as a teacher. i have been teaching for over a year now and have recently began my progress to becoming a licensed math teacher. the first step was to take the praxis II test. it is a content knowledge test in your field so i had to take a 50 question 2 hour test on math. i was pretty nervous about it because i hadn't even taken a test in about 5 years! but, i passed! so i don't have to take it over. i needed a score of 138 and scored 148 on it. so my next step is to take the following few classes to finish.
Methods of Teaching Secondary Mathematics and Application of Computers and Calculators in Mathematics
Instruction, Technology, Assessment, and Planning
Creating a learning Environment
Introduction to Special Education
and
Literacy Strategies
soon enough i'll be a licensed teacher and i'll get a raise! hopefully these classes won't take me too long to finish - i have 3 years. wish me luck! :)
