There are IB workshops and conferences for teachers of different levels and subject matters held quite often in different parts of the world.  For example, if you are a visual arts teacher and need training, you just attend a workshop which will give you what you need to know. I've tried it, having attended one in Beijing since it's close by. The link below will help you. Or just contact the International Baccalaureate Organization.

Try calling the college and asking.  Sometimes, they add classes if enough students ask for it.

I have two suggestions:\n\n1.  Contact your local school system and ask what qualifications they require.  In my county, we hire lateral entry teachers, in other words, folks who have a college degree and want to change occupations.\n\n2.  Contact the nearest university, and speak to an admissions counselor.  They'll have the most up-to-date information on the courses you'll need to take, and what your prospects are of getting hired.\n\nGood luck!

She may need to take a break from study and restart a Primary course next year, as after Christmas the majority of the course will be spent on placements.\n\nThe best thing your girlfriend can do is talk it over with her tutor/mentor, as each training establishment will have slightly different regulations.\n\nIf she didn't have the required class of degree to start the course in September, they may not accept her now either. Or was she thinking of transferring to a different institution?\n\nShe may be best to keep her options open by doing a Middle Years (Key Stage 2/3) course, as this would qualify her to teach in both Primary and Secondary schools

You need to find a college that has a student teaching program.  Depending on what your credits are in all you may have to do is take the student teaching and a few education classes.  There are programs that will allow you to teach while you complete these classes.  Go to your state's department of education website and look under licensure or certification which will tell you about such programs and what you need to do to fulfill that state's requirements.  Unfortunately No Child Left Behind has severely limited such programs.

You are in a difficult position as you are their instructor. You cant get included unless you form a casual relationship of friendship first, by chatting etc. As you build up trust, then you can mention that you are interested in going along to join their activities, or even ask what activities you could get into from them. Maybe better for you to look outside of the school, join social activities like evening classes. Less complications with relationships with "students " etc.

Think about the alternative certification route. In our area the state holds a conference for the public about twice a year and shows people how to become teachers. Do a search for alterantive certifications for teachers in your area and good luck and God Bless.\n\nThere may even be granst for you, see the Texas link in my sources.

Do you remember if the school was accredited? If so, try contacting the accreditation group(?) to see if they can help. One of the more common groups is the "North Central Association." Try the link below, and good luck:

* Call your local public school headquarters, and ask if there is an "alternative certification" program where as long as you have a college degree, you can take classes/tests to get certified while you are already teaching and deduct the costs from your pay. If you teach a subject outside your credits, you may be required to earn additional course credits in that.\n* Also ask if there is another group that offers certification outside the school district.  In Houston it is called Region IV and\nit is better than the program offered by the public schools. Compare costs and requirements, and get recommendations from other teachers which one is better for your field of interest.\n* Can you contact Teach for America?  This nonprofit assigns college grads to teaching assignments to offset college loans.\n\nWhile you explore that, can you substitute teach? This may help you decide what subject, class size, demographics, etc. suit your teaching style, or which school administration you prefer.\n\nAs long as you have a college degree, you should be able to substitute teach or qualify for a program that will pay for your courses/certification out of your salary.  Good luck!

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.
