hi,

im teaching in NY for the first time this year, coming from MA. i was SO close to my 30 credites, and now im finding out that some of my credits don't transfer or count. are there any good classes, seminars that you can suggest for a first grade teacher to take? im desperate to get to my 30 asap...

thanks!

Re: how did you get to your 30+

First find out what your district will/ will not accept. Some districts are more strict with this than others. Some will let you take a class outside of your subject area, some will not allow any on line/ dinstance learning. Many LI districts have great Teacher's Centers which offer reasonable in service classes to count towards your 30.

I took 3 classes through Indiana-Wesleyan and do not recommend them. They sent a paper back to be redone and were not great to deal with.

I got my +60 with some "distance learning" from University of LaVerne (it's on line). It was really cheap and consisted of a pack of reading comprehension questions and a lesson plan or two.

Just look into what your district allows before spending any time or $!
