You already have a bachelor's degree what is the next step in order to get a teaching certificate?

Answer 1

== == You can either take the required courses that you lack as a postgraduate, or as the answer below states, work toward obtaining a masters degree. But the courses required to be able to pass the state exams and student teach are in The Bachelor's degree realm. They are not graduate courses. I did this and it was about 42 hours for a secondary education certificate in English and sociology. The methods classes were invaluable. == == 1. Connect with a Cal State or private college that has strong education programs.

2. Take a combination of classes that (a) earn your clear credential (b) earn you a Master's degree, and (c) start to qualify you for a counseling/administration credential

3. Make it your goal to complete 14 units per year, since 14 units are required to advance one step on the salary scale in most California districts.

Also, 4. taking more than 14 units per year is a bit much since most districts allow you to advance ony one step per year and more units than that will wear most people out.
