SHowing that you can teach RIGHT NOW. Again as one of the instructors at TexasTeachers.or sed that if she has a detailed lesson plan and "something" comes up, then she knows that someone else can take over for her in a pinch.

The main thing that they offer (almost un-believably so - you know those DEDICATED teachers! ;) are: 1) For $400 (10%) down you are "in the system". The payback is almost never heard of: If you get a job, then they arrange a REASONABLE pay-back out of your monthly paycheck - only IF you are hired; otherwise payback is pending.... 2) The support team in fantastic and you'll be with HUNDREDS (not just a "classroom full" - which is what i expected) of teacher candidates, teachers (seeking cert in a diff area), and the staff. I took the class in Fall of 2007 at the Civic Centre in Grand Prarie (a bit of a drive) but: FANTASTIC 3) They also provide an on-going database of not only your records (as you get cert's, new qualifications, etc), but training materials, networking contacts, etc. And they are *ever* ready to help. 4) Also they have seminars for ON-GOING training, etc. Note: They aren't an "official/professional" membership (Like "tacta" - texas classroom teachers assoc), but they are FULLY recognised by the state of TX Abs fab and fine folks there; call today. The main limitation is that the cert program (live to attend and get credit for) are only in DFW, San Antonio and Houston - some slightly out-side those area.s Check out the link on this page: {(above)} -[]- -[]- -[]-Teaching Cert TEST: Links
