Are you really back ?

are you still teaching virtually?

Master’s in what? Education?

Who do you work for

lalalalalalallalalalla

Thank you for the valuable inside information your opinion and experience was very helpful to me making the decision to go this route instead of graduate program that is in the best interest for my career or financial goals.

Your check-in form link expired... can you give a new one?

I miss you

Come back!!!!

Will you come back?

Watched this 3 times cause I love the way you pronounce, "water."

Thank you. Grateful.

I love this video! So thorough! Looking forward to getting my special ed cert❤️

Thank you

you need a certification just to understand and get a certification.

Come back

Thank you for sharing all of your experiences in getting certified through ABCTE!

How many hours do you teach each day generally?

Any advice on the PTK?

Thank you this was very helpful!

come back

Very Very helpful young lady! It all seems to amount to a one year grad school vs paying for 3-4 years grad school and still having to pay for extra fees. People like me, grandma's full of vitality and knowledge don't have time for more school. Time isn't on our side. Your info was spot on easy to follow and eye-opening! 🎉

Hello?

Melanie thank you so much for all this information. I feel so overwhelmed by all these requirements. Thank you for the information though. I was under the impression that the $1900 was all I needed to start teaching. I'm wondering if I can go ahead and talk to schools in my state (SC) to see if they can hire me while completing the ABCTE because it seems really hard to find a job without a license.

Not all states require placement; emergency licenses are being more and more common as well.

Thanks for the informative video, but I have to wonder whom you imagine to be your audience. It's clear that you are a hard worker, but you complain an awful lot about simple, basic things that any teacher needs to be capable of. Is it really so hard to read 247 pages of a chemistry text, if you want to be a chemistry teacher? Is it really that awful to need to gather necessary paperwork requirements? Most of all, why are you so afraid of accepting financial responsibility? As for the total cost, it's more expensive in Pennsylvania, but only because Pennsylvania has higher standards. There are 12 other states with much less expensive alternative route options, using ABCTE. The financial upside to paying the extra fees for Pointe Park and mentoring is that average teacher salaries are much higher in PA, so it's a much better investment than say, West Virginia or Arizona. I'm quite sure you could have avoided the extra hassles if you had done the reading before you signed up. Good luck in your classroom. Teaching is it!

This is a lot. I’m so happy Wisconsin doesn’t require all of this for American Board.

Did you finish the three pack of chapstick?

You are the best

Nevermind -- you answered my question.

How long does your morning meeting run?

I hope you’re better Mrs. Ludy! - chiara

This is so much worse than using ABCTE in Wisconsin. There is no requirement for student teaching in Wisconsin when using ABCTE. All of that sounds crazy!

Great video! Does anyone know if all these extra costs apply to Wisconsin?

Hello! I’m looking into getting certified in the English for private school so that I can teach in any state. Do you have any advice for that? 😊

I miss you

You are the best

Updates ?

How soon will you be back ?

Hi Melanie! I’m currently, studying for the PTK portion of the American Board program. Hoping to receive my certification in elementary ed. 💁‍♀️ Do you recall how difficult the PTK test was, and do you have any specific advice for studying for the multiple choice and writing portion? Thank you!

I just stumbled upon your channel! I found American Board last year and last month I made the financial commitment to do the program. I purchased the math program as my core subject area and I think I am going to add the English subject area as well.

Do a video with the santosaleman1962 soundtrack

Now I am going through all your videos , I already shared 2 of your videos with my daughter who is a teacher in Austin TX , and I hope she likes too .

I love your video and I am trying to learn it also through your teaching . Thanks for your time !

Thank you for posting this. I have been going back and forth for several months if I should teach online. I do have small children and want more time with them. I have a few questions but I guess my number one question is how did you find your online school? When I searched in my state we only had a few come up and they have horrible reviews from teachers. Obviously not everyone likes where they work but since I don’t know anyone currently working their I’m having a hard time committing due to the reviews. HELP!!!

Whenever you come back, can you just do an updated review on chapstick moisturizer…also try not to edit out anytime you use chapstick…

I know it has been a while, but how has chapstick moisturizer been for you ?

So you became a fully certified teacher this way?

Hi, how do I make a wedding gift list? or banking?

Agree. Take a break. You sound like a teacher I wish I had 10 years ago.
