Project 5: After SHSU

Secondary Education:

You must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. Texas institutions do not offer a degree in education. Every teacher must have an academic major, as well as teacher training courses. The only exemption from the degree requirement is for individuals seeking Career and Technology certification to teach certain courses, such as welding or computer-aided drafting.You must complete teacher training through an approved program. These programs are offered through colleges and universities, school districts, regional service centers, community colleges, and other entities.You must successfully complete the appropriate teacher certification tests for the subject and grade level you wish to teach.A teacher who holds an appropriate Texas classroom teaching certificate and a bachelor's degree may add classroom certification areas by successfully completing the appropriate certification examination(s) for the area(s) sought. Certification by examination is not available for: initial certification;career and technology certification based on skill and work experience;a class of certificate other than classroom teacher (e.g. School Counselor, Principal, Superintendent, Learning Resources/School Librarian, Educational Diagnostician);a certificate for which no certification examination has been developed.

So, what this means to me, is that after I receive my B.F.A. in theatre, I will have to obtain a certificate to teach, if I cannot receive certification through our teacher education department. I will do this by taking an additional examination that will allow me to obtain my certificate.
