I'm thinking of becoming one...anyone here doing/done this? Did you get a degree first? Lateral Entry? Licensure after a degree?

Just trying to gather more information since the NCCU and NCSU education sites don't specify for "art"...and also since it's nearly impossible to get an actual person on the phone who knows what they are talking about.

Ah Greg.

This is your best bet:

Unless you already have a degree, then you'll want to find out if UNCG or any other school has a licensure program. I know State does for science, math, and social studies, but I'm not sure about art.

8/18/2006 4:59:01 PM

Yeah, they don't have a licesure for art...just math and science at all levels and english middle and high school but only middle if you're working as a teacher while you get your licensure. I know NC Central is the closest for licensure...I'm just concerned about not having a job.

Thanks for the link...did you ever find a job?

8/18/2006 5:13:22 PM

Yeah, it sucks.

she plans to teach art for younger kids an open a studio as a second venture.

8/20/2006 11:19:16 PM

Awesome. Thanks for the help and yes, please send along her contact. I talked to a teacher who is in the Davidson County district this weekend and she suggested sending my stuff to DPI, as did Lewizzle. Thanks for all the ideas. I'll bttt this when I get my transcript reviewed

one of my good friends just landed her first art teaching job at an elementary magnet school here in raleigh...her budget is ridunkulous

8/21/2006 8:49:18 AM

My mom teaches middle school art. I could get you in touch with her if you want.

8/21/2006 9:11:25 AM

^^Art supplies are so expensive...she should be estatic she got one at a magnet school where they offer more for special classes, like art and music.

^Did she go to school for it or was she lateral entry?

8/21/2006 10:43:48 AM

oh i know...as a fellow artist i've dropped a lot of money on supplies. she gets $1200...verrrrrrry lucky to have that.

8/21/2006 10:45:08 AM

Good Grief.

I am really looking for something full-time currently so I can begin in January with this whole process. $1200 really is a good amount but I doubt if I'd just be able to walk into a position at a magnet school right away but here's to dreaming!

8/21/2006 10:57:05 AM

^^ My mom went to school for art. She got her national teachers certification as well I think. I don't know much about how she got started teaching or how you would do it now, but I'm sure she knows all about it.
