Target: overseas degrees and US licensure

[Susan Sedro <ssedro@PD.JARING.MY>]

Hello,
I already have a teaching license in Minnesota, USA and an M. Ed.  I'm hoping to 
earn my
Masters in Library Science in the next two years.  I am currently teaching overseas 
and
am having trouble getting the information I need.  I know that you probably can not 
give
me the official answer to these questions, but I hope some of you can shed light on 
them.

1. If I get my MLS in Australia, can I teach with it in the US?

2. Is there a Canadian or Australia counterpart to the ALA and is their certifcation
recognized in the US?

3. If you are currently a Minnesota school media specialists, did you have to take 
the
Praxcis (sp?) and will taking that make it easier for me to get an out-of-state or 
out-of-
the-country degree accepted by the State Board of Teaching?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.
