GETTING MY TEACHING CERTIFICATION| EverydayEducator

[@jenniferla5540]

Hi Stephanie, I feel grateful that I found your video today! Thank You for the information you have included!! This video was very helpful and supportive.

[@josephpearson5098]

Hey Stephanie! Thank you so much for sharing your teaching certification journey through Moreland University's TEACH-NOW program! Your reflection on the challenges with filming yourself are exactly what I experienced when I did my own self-observations and reflections. I would be interested in knowing more about how the program has impacted your career and teaching practice now that a few years have gone by.

[@colingill995]

Hi Stefanie! I was just accepted to the licensure programme at Moreland University. I live in Sweden.

[@everydayeducator4899]

Hello friend! Congratulations! If you ever need some help let me know and I will see what I can do. Good luck!

[@ReadEnglish101]

Wow! This should have been a thing I knew 15 yrs ago...but then again am in the Caribbean. I spent 2 years for associate degree in teaching , the 2.5 years for bachelors.

[@everydayeducator4899]

Oh wow! The Caribbean?! Thank you so much for watching and I totally agree I’m glad I found it when I did.

[@marcellejones4417]

Filming yourself teaching and looking back at it is a great exercise. I'll try it! :)

[@everydayeducator4899]

Go for it!

[@olwethu_n]

Hey! Loved this video. Can you please do a review on their masters? I’m really interested in it. Thank you

[@everydayeducator4899]

Sure thing!

[@ladiibug3318]

So I have to take the Praxis even though I passed all the required GACE assessments 😩

[@juliethash5199]

Can you do a video on your lesson plan ?

[@monthsbehind9730]

Great video and looking forward to the update since I live in Georgia also and I am looking at what route is best for the teaching certification since the Georgia website is very confusing and a ton of steps that are not clear.

[@everydayeducator4899]

I would recommend looking into non traditional routes like Moreland University. And also looking into taking the GACE tests (basic skills, etc). I took a couple (special Ed reading, writing and social studies) before applying to positions which I think helped my resume. I would also try subbing or being a paraprofessional as a way to get your foot in the door if you can take the low pay. I hope this helps!

[@monthsbehind9730]

Hello I know that it has been awhile I just wanted to say thank you after finally finishing Morelands program and passing my Gace successfully getting my license@@everydayeducator4899

[@simomakhathini198]

Hi Stephanie, great content! I am a South African currently teaching English in China (been 2years here). I am also working on my teaching certificate with a South African college and I just need some insight on how I can teach in America

[@everydayeducator4899]

Thank you for watching and wow that’s awesome! I would definitely check out Moreland University, moreland.edu/, if your looking for an alternative teaching certificate or I would check out the GaPSC, www.gapsc.com/MoveToGeorgia/MoveToGeorgia.aspx, and look at the educators outside the US page. I hope this helps! Good luck 🤞🏾

[@teacherspraytoo]

Awww, I feel so special. You shouted me out❤❤. You are super-duper Amazing and DOPE! I can't wait to keep watching your videos and working together again( even if they don't put us back together again😂😂.

[@everydayeducator4899]

So are you!!! Thank you so much for your support!!! ❤️❤️

[@juliethash5199]

What exams you took for Georgia ?

[@VickiNelson17]

HI! Thanks for the video! Did you ever get certified first in DC, Arizona, or Hawaii and then transfer it over to Georgia? If so, did you have problems with the transfer process? If not, how did you obtain your Georgia license?

[@everydayeducator4899]

No, I didn’t have to get certified in DC, Arizona, or Hawaii. Since Moreland is accredited most states, including Georgia, will grant reciprocity. That just means I can apply directly to the GaPSC for my license once Moreland sends over the necessary documents (transcript, program completion document, etc) to the GaPSC, it’s pretty straightforward from there. I called GaPSC myself and they are super nice and walked me through everything. If you want I can upload a video of the license process itself, if your interested. That was a lot, hope it helped at least a little. 😅

[@VickiNelson17]

@@everydayeducator4899 Thank you so so much!! That was so helpful! If it wouldn't be too much work for you, I would love to see how the process went for you!~~

[@ashleyhonda]

@@everydayeducator4899 Hi! Thank you for mentioning this info on how you could apply direct to your desired state (Georgia). I thought reciprocity meant to get certified in one of Moreland's three mentioned states and then use that certification to transfer it elsewhere. I found this part helpful. Thanks again :)

[@jgarenterprise5957]

I teach Healthcare Sciences in Ga. did they still make you take program admissions? I have taken Ethics and currently teach on a Permit.

[@everydayeducator4899]

No I did not take the program admissions. I was able to exempt with my ACT scores.

[@nomcebogcabashe6724]

Can I have a website please?

[@BGalligan65]

Great Video! Planning on starting my Teaching Certification in March. I applied for the Masters in Education and was accepted. Quick Question. I will need the Teachers Certification and Masters, do I need to apply for them separately? Also do you do the Masters Program at the same time as the Teacher's Certification or did you do the Teacher's Certification first then the Masters separately. Again really like the video and hope you can get back to me on this one.

[@everydayeducator4899]

Hey thanks for watching and congrats on your acceptance!!! 🎉 1. I applied once and it was for the masters and certification option. 2. You complete the certification program first and then you select your second start date for the masters program. I hope this helps! Good luck!

[@frecklesflower]

Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. I am also from Georgia. Do you know if this program is approved by GaPSC? Also, I wonder if you can take the GACE instead of the PRAXIS. Thank you!

[@everydayeducator4899]

Yes I think they only thing I have to do is file the necessary paperwork for GaPSC once I take the Praxis. Also I have to take it as a requirement for the program. Thanks for watching!

[@CindyTheLDCoach]

Filming yourself is actually an awesome way to self evaluate and make improvements. What is the price range for this school? I never heard of it, but I haven’t had the need either. Lol! Hope you get to take that test soonz

[@everydayeducator4899]

It's about $6,000 over the 9 months. And me too!!

[@shayanc4644]

Hey thanks for the video :) I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to find teaching positions without a teaching license? I want to be teaching while pursuing a teaching certificate. Do you have any insight? Thanks :)

[@shariharris9674]

Have you thought about working as academic interventionist? All you need is a bachelor's degree for that position.

[@everydayeducator4899]

Hey I literally applied to everything before I got my first teaching position. I didn’t have anything but my BA and not in Education. My principal really worked with me and I was hired with a provisional contract (I think that’s the right term) and it stated I had to enroll into a certification program before a certain date in order to get a another contract for the next school year. Also I worked as a paraprofessional for a year which I think helped get my foot in the door. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@elocinval]

Great video I am a para in GA and would love to teach. I was thinking about the GA Tap program but I am still undecided. Could you make more vids about your process. I have so much questions and I know other do too. So do the certificate transfers to a Ga certificate? Do you still have to take the gace

[@everydayeducator4899]

Sorry for late reply! I plan on doing an updated video soon ( this school year has been crazy so bare with me 🙏🏾) You would still need to apply for Ga certification which Moreland University will help walk you through and I did have to take the GACE but it was more so for my job not the program. I will work to create an updated video that will answer more questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out in the mean time!

[@prettynatural1973]

Thank you

[@tamialee6727]

Hi! I live in FL, how am I able to check if Moreland offers reciprocity with my state? Thanks for the info I am very interested.

[@everydayeducator4899]

Hey thank you for watching! I know each state is different so I would check out this link, moreland.edu/teacher-certification-guide/blog-post-title-three-a6tyl?rq=Reciprocity, that should help answer that question. Moreland is also very good about answering questions via phone, 1 844 283 2246. Hope this helps and good luck!!!

[@caitlin6503]

Thanks for the informative video! I have a few other questions I was hoping you could answer. I have been researching this program. I would be completing it while teaching first grade full-time. They estimate there's 15-20 hours worth of schoolwork a week. On average how much time did you spend on schoolwork a week? Was there a particular module that was more time consuming? Others that were not? This information would help me with deciding when to start the program. TIA. 🤗 Also, you mentioned the Praxis test had to match the clinicals, this is a requirement from the school or your state?

[@everydayeducator4899]

Done. Check out part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amGqq2yunrB3eMU

[@drekamesha1944]

What are your requirements for getting certified in your state? Did they give you a hard time?

[@everydayeducator4899]

Here is the link to the GaPSC website for prospective educators: www.gapsc.com/ProspectiveEducator/StepsToTeach/Home.aspx Once I found a program (Moreland University), it was pretty straight forward. I went the non-traditional route since my bachelors degree is not in education.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Her requirements?

[@PrayThenHustle]

Is certification and license the same?

[@everydayeducator4899]

Yes in Georgia, USA.
