Can I use my UK teaching certificate to get work in New Jersey?
AG asked:
I trained as a teacher at uni and have a 2.1 in Primary Education (7-11) with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). Although whilst at uni I did 4 seperate teaching practices I didn’t do my NQT year as I got the travel bug. I have however spent the last 2 years in Japanese elementary schools teaching English.

My problem is that I am moving to Princeton with my partner and I would like to work. Can I teach with my current certificate or not?
I have tried reading the information provided by the state, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense!
Please help!

every state required teachers to be certified in the state they are going to teach. You should contact the department of education or Bureau of edu. of NJ and send them your certificates or diplomas so they can evaluate them and decide what kind of certification (if at all) are you entitled to.
That would be the proper thing to do, but in reality, many teachers in this country teach with out being certified. How do they do that?
I don’t know. noclue
