Please Help! Any American or British students or teachers?

With the American education system constantly changing (not for the better), it is becoming increasingly difficult for even graduates of American universities to begin teaching. If you have not yet begun your program at Derby University, I would recommend attending an American university if you plan to teach in the United States. Even within the United States, I suggest that you attend a university in the state in which you want to teach, for each state maintains their own standards for teachers. If you are certified to teach in one state, your certification is not necessarily valid in another. You must become certified in whichever state you actually teach in, which might have different qualifications for certification than the state in which you were educated. Many American schools will not allow you to even substitute without at least an undergraduate degree, so your chances of helping out in a clroom before certification are minimal. Good luck.
