Texas only: MLS/teacher certification

[Leah Hawkins <leahleah@ATTBI.COM>]

If you know anyone with an MLS who is contemplating
school libraries, the University of Texas at Dallas
(note - DALLAS, NOT AUSTIN) offers a post-baccalaureate
secondary teaching certificate program. At least they did
10 years ago when I needed it!

IF your Bachelor's degree is in a secondary teaching
field - i.e., English (like mine), History, Science, etc.
 you are required to take only FOUR education courses:
Classroom Management, Curriculum, Education Law, one
education elective  (I took AtRisk Students).  Then you
student teach in your field at the secondary level for 10
weeks, take your ExCet exam and you have a Texas teaching
certificate to go with your MLS!

My Curriculum professor was disappointed I was "wasting"
myself in the library - she really wanted to see me
teaching English!
