Elementary Teaching Degree Online?
Question:
Answer:
I'd make an appointment with your former university's career services to see what your options are. Considering you've already done a degree, you might be able to do a shortened course for primary teaching if it's on offer. I wouldn't imagine that you could do a teaching degree online since much of the work involves placements in schools and that might not be possible to arrange (especially these days, when schools like to know that the people they have coming in to work with kids are known to be trustworthy and safe).
Depending on the state in which you live and where you want to teach, you may not have to get a second degree. Some states (like Florida) offer alternative routes to certificaton to people with college degrees. It often involves taking a couple of classes and passing certification tests. Contact your state department of education for more information. Saint Leo University offers many education classes online, although you cannot complete your degree in elementary education totally online.
