is an online teaching certificate a good idea?We Answered:
There are none.I challenge anyone to find one.
the problem is the student teaching portion. Because each state requires a program that includes this, such programs can only be created regionally. This is not a situation where the larger online schools can deal with - this is why you see the huge number of online masters degree programs. A masters degree is not sufficient to teach. You need a credential.
There are limited regional programs such as calstate teach - but they require you to have a classroom already. odd - how can you have a classroom without a credential? This singular program is set up to take advantage of the teacher shortage - there are a number of districts who must still offer emergency credentials - this programs is geared to them. You earn it while you teach.
Another poster is correct - it is becoming increasingly common - just not for credentials. What you can do however is go to your states credentialing board - there is always a list of approved programs for that state.
If a state is smaller - and teams up with a local university - there might be a geographic incentive to offer such a program as you wish - I have never seen one - but really would like someone to research and prove me wrong.
The criteria Id like to see:
completely online, deals with student teaching, offers a full clear credential in that state, no requirement for you to already have a classroom.
good luck and prove my first sentence wrong teachers!

How can i get a teaching certificate online?We Answered:
up until recently, I was answering questions like this with "its not possible" The problem is the student teaching portion. Any state approved program must include three items:1.coursework on methods and curriculum
2.verification of passing subject matter tests
3. student teaching.
all states require the above. This is why you see the massive amount of advertising for masters degrees - the schools have not figured out a way to do the student teaching portion. This *cannot* be done without you in a classroom with a university mentor coaching you through the assignment - thats a state requirement.
This means that the large national online schools could not dedicate the resources to cover the entire country. So you would see regional ideas - like CalState teach (this program is online, but requires you to already have your classroom - very limited in scope)
now I just looked at western governors website - and they claim to have a program -they also claim to have figured out how to do student teaching. I know no-one who has completed it, nor do I know if it is truly entirely online. perhaps you might want to look at it...
Make sure! that it is accepted as a valid program in your state - all states list their approved programs at their certification website.
good luck to you
