I just graduated from Duke University with a BA in economics. I am participating in Teach for America, where I will teach special education at a middle school in Durham, North Carolina. By the end of my two year commitment, I will be a licensed mild-moderate special education teacher, receiving my alternative licensing from Eastern Carolina University. At this point in time, I would really like to come to the UK to work for 2 years to have the opportunity to compare and contrast the two education systems. Would I be considered a qualified teacher with my specifications? Would it be necessary to obtain a MA in special education by the end of this 2 year commitment to secure employment? Thank you for your help!

Actually, you're the second person with a similar situation.

Short answer: If you have a valid teaching certification in the States, you are good to go.

I'll try to find the other post for you so you can see the long answer.

Hi again,

Found the other post I mentioned. It was by "Britomart" in the "QUALIFICATIONS TO TEACH IN THE UK" thread. It starts on the 2nd page...but pretty much boils down to my short answer.

Oops, it's the "Requirements for teaching in the UK" thread. Apologies.
