Teaching under emergency certification

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on August 16, 2007 - 04:40.

I have B.S. and M.S. degress in math and physical science with education courses that are over 18 years old and several years part-time college-level teaching experience. After trying for many years, I got a teaching position with a hometown school system last year under emergency certification. Some confusion occurred over course requirements I was to complete and now I must complete 40+ hours of college work in less than 2 years to earn a certificate to be able to continue teaching. I love teaching, but this is not a fast-track to certification. This may be the last year I get to teach, even though I keep hearing that qualified math teachers are needed.
