Is it possible to get a teaching job in the state of Illinois without certification?

If one has both BS and MS degrees in the science fields & believes they would prefer teaching HS or Jr. College science over being employed in research, is it possible to teach while

pursuing certification?

    According to Northern Illlinois University FAQ page you could teach legally in the state of Illinois in a non-public and/or charter school. Also you could become a substitute in some cases without a certificate. For more information go to the website listed below.......

    Maybe. I live in Illinois and I know many a teacher that was at charter and private schools. They are cracking down on that hardcore. If you do get a position, then it will probably be if you are teaching with some sort of temporary certificate while being enrolled in some sort of alternative certification program. I know in Chicago Public Schools now you can't even substitute without a teaching certificate.

    You will have to check on the junior colleges though...I think that all you need for those are masters in a specific content area.

    Good Luck!

    No, certification is needed. Even private colleges will require certification in virtually all circumstances. you're proper... that's a soreness in Illinois to get that instructor certification, although that's a soreness in the different states as properly. yet another concept for you: you will get a provisional replace instructor certification with little subject in Illinois. touch your close by close by workplace of preparation and that they'd assist you.
