Advice on teaching in PA? Education/certification, etc.?
I'm thinking about a career change and I would love to teach. However, I work full time and my hours can go as late as 9pm, so I'm having trouble finding a courseload that will accomodate this.
I currently have a B.A. (in theatre arts). Any suggestions on how to work the required curriculum into my schedule? Good online programs, etc.?
Also, I'm not sure of the student teaching requirements in PA. Any teachers out there who can help? Can I get a job teaching w/o the student teaching hours at a lower pay rate and log the hours then?
I'm very serious about this. I want to do something w/ meaning and I love to teach (have done some children's theatre, etc.). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I live in Ohio, so I'm not sure how similar PA is. I suggest contacting your local college/university and setting up a meeting with someone in the education department. They will be able to tell you exactly what requirements you'll need and may even point you towards good online courses. With a Bachelor's degree you can sub in the schools. Look around for your local school websites and fill out a sub application. You can also teach in some private schools with a Bachelor's degree. I'm pretty sure you can't get a teaching position in a public school until you have your teaching license.. but like I said, you can sub and possibly even be a teacher aide.
Hope that helps!
