Hey everyone,
I have a question for the education folks on this forum. I am going to be a college senior in the fall. I will graduate with a Bachelor of Music, BA in Public Policy and history minor. One idea I've thrown around for after college is to become a high school social studies teacher (I've done some music teaching in the past few years, and while I enjoy teaching, I am not really interested in doing music education).
I'm looking for a program where I won't be judged on my lack of BA in History (I have enough college coursework in econ/poli sci/public policy/history to meet most states' licensure requirements for high school social studies teachers) and that will allow me to get inside the classroom/learn how to teach. The program doesn't have to yield a degree.
I was wondering if people know of programs that would be suited for me. I've been doing some research and I've come across three programs:
-Boston Teacher Residency
-Harvard Teacher Education Program
-Teach for America
Are there any similar programs/advice for me about getting from point a to point b here?
Thanks!!
