Kentucky Teacher Certification:
|
To qualify, you need a bachelor's degree, a passing score on written tests in your content area, and either 30 hours of course work or 5 years experience in the field.
Third, you may qualify for college faculty certification if you have a master's degree and 5 years of teaching experience in the subject to be taught.
Fourth, adjunct instructor certification is available to those with expertise in a specific subject area.
You also need a standing job offer and the appropriate prior education, and this certificate does not lead to permanent Kentucky teacher certification.
Fifth, veterans of the armed forces may qualify with six years of service, a bachelor's degree, and passing scores on subject area tests.
Sixth, university-based alternative paths to certification are available which allow candidates to work as teachers while completing requirements for a teaching license.
See a list of approved colleges and universities by going to www.kyepsb.net/certification/approvedlist.asp.
Last, career changers may qualify for the university institute alternative route.
You will need a bachelor's degree, minimum GRE scores, and a current offer of employment.
