ALISA
Passed the math exam to be qualified to teach math in Secondary Schools
It is not easy to get a teaching job these days and just as hard to keep one if you have not taken the exams to be qualified to teach your subject. When I started teaching, all that was needed was a college diploma and a teaching certificate to teach Elementary 1-8 or Secondary 9-12. A teacher who has been teaching math for the last 20 years will now have a number of years to take the state test to become highly qualified, or they will be out of a job. Harsh!! Terrifing for many older teachers.
Alisa is hoping to teach math, or science, in the fall. She is highly qualified to teach both subjects, so we'll hope she lands a job.
Now if we could just get some highly qualified students, or parents. By the way, I love this picture of Alisa. It speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alisa! I know you are highly qualified without the test. Please come to Houston and visit---just like when you were a little girl, I promise you a good time.
