Don't some states require a teaching license?

Postby Spitcairn » Tue Apr 15, 2008 1:06 pm

I was just wondering if some states required a teaching license, I thought for some reason that some states didi? With all the talk about what's going on in Cali, is that different than a certified teacher? :oops:

I don't think there's any state that requires a teaching license. Even CA is unlikely to keep that precedent on the books, considering the number of homeschoolers there and the fact that the governor and the some of the people running the courts have already spoken out against it. Given, there are some pretty restrictive states, but you can usually homeschool either with a college degree and/or as part of an "umbrella" private school, at the very least.

So you have to have a college degree in order to homeschool in some states? :?

What about requirements for something like a competency test?

Spit,

School districts are not required to be competent to teach your kids :D

Had to put that one in.

I have two thoughts or questions on ND.

What if you have already successfully homeschooled for a number of years exceeding ND requirement (perhaps with one or two of your graduates in college) in another state and moved there?

Can anyone take a the national teacher's exam? It may have questions that would never pertain to us, or shouldn't. Like crowd control and other legal mumbo jumbo.

They can't retroactively punish you for how you schooled in other states, if that's what you're asking.

As for teacher certification, the following may be useful:

The page doesn't seem to offer a very comprehensive list of colleges with teaching programs, but the rest of the info applies.
