About 'online university graduate programs'|10 Real Universities Offering Real Online Degrees








               Thinking               about               going               to               college               online               to               become               a               certified               classroom               teacher?

I               did,               and               spent               more               than               $20,000               to               achieve               this               dream.

However,               this               dream               became               a               nightmare               for               me               when               I               could               not               maintain               full-time               teaching               jobs               with               these               online               credentials               because               I               was               still               considered               in               my               state               to               not               be               "highly               qualified".
               "Highly               Qualified"               Issues
               The               No               Child               Left               Behind               Act               of               2001               requires               that,               "the               teacher               holds               a               minimum               of               a               bachelor's               degree;               and               has               obtained               full               state               certification               or               holds               an               state               teaching               license,               and               does               not               have               certification               or               licensure               requirements               waived               on               an               emergency,               temporary,               or               provisional               basis;               and               has               demonstrated               subject-matter               competency               in               each               of               the               academic               subjects               in               which               the               teacher               teaches,               in               a               manner               determined               by               the               state."
               I               earned               a               B.A               degree               in               Journalism,               worked               as               a               substitute               teacher               in               my               school               district               for               more               than               a               decade,               but               did               not               pass               the               Praxis               II               state               subject               assessment               in               Spanish,               or               complete               enough               hours               in               college               to               qualify               for               a               Major               in               Spanish.

I               completed               12               hours               in               Spanish               as               an               undergraduate,               taught               Spanish               part-time               at               a               local               Baptist               church               school               one               year,               and               earned               a               master's               degree               in               Secondary               Education               online.

However,               these               remarkable               credentials               only               allowed               me               to               teach               full-time               (under               contract)               two               years,               in               two               different               school               districts,               under               an               Emergency               teaching               certificate,               and               one-year               provisionally.
               Some               Pros               and               Cons               of               Online               Teacher               Programs
               The               master's               degree               I               earned               online               was               an               Arizona               approved               teacher               preparation               program,               is               accredited               by               the               Higher               Learning               Commission,               and               is               a               member               of               the               North               Central               Association               (of               Colleges               and               Universities).

I               received               a               degree               in               Secondary               Education               and               an               Institutional               Recommendation               (IR)               from               this               online               university,               but               no               Arizona               state               teaching               certificate.

In               Alabama,               I               need               to               be               issued               an               actual               teacher's               certificate               from               Arizona               to               request               the               Alabama               State               Department               of               Education               to               consider               granting               me               a               reciprocal               (regular)               teaching               certificate               in               the               subject               area               I               wish               to               teach.
               Six               Reasons               Certifying               Me               As               "Highly               Qualified"               Should               Have               Been               Easy:
               ·               I               had               been               subbing               in               one               school               district               more               than               ten               years.

·               I               completed               countless               hours               of               professional               development               training               in               core               teacher               skills               and               workshops               as               a               sub               and               as               a               regular               full-time               teacher.

·               I               almost               completed               a               Minor               in               Spanish.

·               I               taught               Spanish               to               students               in               grades               k-12               nearly               three               years               with               outstanding               results.

·               I               completed               10               weeks               of               student               teaching               in               Language               Arts               in               my               school               district.

·               I               earned               a               master's               degree               in               Secondary               Education.

All               of               these               "I"               letters               above               does               not               mean               that               I               am               narcissistic               in               any               way!
               Back               to               Reality
               At               the               end               of               May,               my               former               school               principal               called               me               into               his               office.

I               hoped               that               he               was               going               to               tell               me               that               the               school               board               was               very               pleased               with               my               stellar               teaching               achievements(which               he               did),               and               that               the               school               board               decided               to               extend               my               teaching               contract               at               least               two               more               years               to               allow               me               enough               time               to               get               "highly               qualified(which               he               didn't).
               The               most               difficult               part               of               not               having               my               teaching               contract               renewed               was               saying               goodbye               to               all               the               wonderful               students               I               had               taught               that               school               year,               and               had               motivated               to               set               high               goals               in               their               lives.

I               hated               to               also               say               goodbye               to               some               of               my               colleagues               that               had               bonded               with               as               personal               friends.

The               long               drive               home               to               tell               my               mother               that               I               would               not               be               returning               to               teach               in               that               school               district               was               even               sadder.
               Humility               is               a               Silver               Lining
               The               good               news               is               that               I               did               not               purchase               a               new               car               when               I               got               my               teaching               contracts,               and               my               old               car               was               paid-in-full.

The               duplex               house               that               I               live               in               next               door               to               my               mother               is               also               paid-in-full               with               no               mortgages               or               liens               on               it.

I               am               in               relatively               good               health               per               my               last               physical               at               the               VA               Hospital               where               I               receive               healthcare               at               no               costs               beyond               a               $2-$4               co-payment               for               any               prescriptions               I               need;               so               worrying               about               employee               health               and               medical               insurance               is               not               a               problem               for               me.
               I               did               not               burn               any               bridges               when               I               got               my               teaching               contracts,               so               I               was               able               to               return               to               my               former               school               district               and               sub.

I               get               calls               to               sub               daily!

Since               I               earn               $60               a               day               as               an               on-call               sub,               my               hefty               student               loans               are               deferred,               and               I               can               receive               dental               care               at               reduced               costs               based               on               my               low               income.

In               this               fragile               economy               today,               we               must               learn               to               do               more               with               less.
