amazon, it’s important that your D talk right now to her advisor about the possible teaching idea. Does her college offer teaching degrees? Does your state (or near-by state) allow alternative certification in high-need areas and if so, is ESL one of them? Right now, that’s a high demand area in many states and will get you hired with a provisional certificate provided you are enrolled in an alternative certification or advanced degree program.
I have a feeling that in the coming economic times teaching jobs will become harder to get. She will want to make sure she has the credentials at graduation to compete for the tighter job market.
