- Science and Mathematics Academy for the Recruitment and Retention of Teachers (SMAR2T). The goal of this project is to recruit and prepare individuals with a baccalaureate degree in the sciences, mathematics, or a related field to teach at the middle and/or secondary levels. In 15 or 24 months, an individual can earn a Master's Degree in Education while becoming certificated to teach in Missouri.
Temporary Authorization Certificate. One-year renewable
provisional teaching certificate that does not require completion
of a teacher education program. For teachers already certified
in another area, passing the Praxis II subject exam certifies
one to teach in that area. However, without content area
major or minor in the given area, this status does not satisfy
"highly-qualified teacher" criteria per the No Child Left
Behind standards.
- "Master of Arts in Teaching", "Alternative
Teacher Education Program". Requires bachelors
degree, GPA 2.5 of 4.0, Passing Praxis in subject area,
9 hours per year coursework toward certification, mentoring,
performance-based teacher evaluation. With two summers of
full coursework, this yields a Masters degree in around
two years. References: DESE
"Teacher Certification"
- Accelerated Teacher Education Program. Similar
to "Alternative Program", but trades full-time
teaching for college courses, yielding a Masters degree
in around 15 months.
- Transition To Teaching. Project helps displaced
workers, former military personnel, career-changers with
TAC/MAT. References: DESE,
