The need for improved and more reliable information transfer calls for Software Business Analyst professionals who can effectively bridge the knowledge and language gap between the business and IT communities. Certification is recommended as a means to define the Common Body of Knowledge for the practice of business analyzation, and evaluate an individuals ability to apply that knowledge to practice. Acquiring the designation of Certified Associate Business Analyst (CABA) indicates a professional level of competence in the principles and practices associated with the business analyst profession.

Candidates who rely only on limited experience / education do not successfully obtain this certification. Do not apply unless you feel confident that you have a good understanding of the CABA Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and your work / education activities and past experience will help in preparing you for the CABA certification program.

Drexel University School of Education

The​ ​Post​ Bachelor’s​ Baccalaureate​ ​Teaching​ ​Certification​ ​program​ ​in​ Elementary Education​ ​(grades​ ​PreK-4)​, Middle Level (grades 4-8), ​and​ Secondary​ ​Education​ ​(grades​ ​7-12)​ ​are​ ​designed for​ ​professionals​ ​who​ ​hold​ ​a​ ​bachelor’s​ ​degree​ ​and​ ​who​ ​seek​ ​to​ ​qualify​ ​for Pennsylvania​ ​state​ ​teacher​ ​certification​ ​at​ ​the​ ​elementary, middle,​ ​or​ ​secondary​ ​level. Students take courses online that satisfy Pennsylvania teaching certificate requirements while completing the required number of weeks of students teaching. Pennsylvania has reciprocation agreements with nearly every state in the U.S. meaning you can transfer your teaching certificate to another state. 

What ​Can ​You ​Do ​with ​a ​Post ​Baccalaureate ​Teacher Certification?

The​ ​curriculum​ ​for​ ​this​ ​teacher​ ​certificate​ ​program​ ​is​ ​designed​ ​for​ ​those​ ​changing careers​ ​into​ ​the​ ​education​ ​field,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​those​ ​who​ ​already​ ​serve​ ​as​ ​temporary, emergency,​ ​or​ ​substitute​ ​teachers​ ​and​ ​wish​ ​to​ ​earn​ ​a​ ​formal​ ​teaching​ ​credential.

Students​ ​who​ ​wish​ ​to​ ​complete​ ​a​ master’s​ ​degree​ ​in​ ​Teaching,​ ​Learning​ ​and Curriculum​ ​have​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​transfer​ ​the​ ​credits​ ​earned​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Post​ ​Bachelor’s Teaching​ ​Certificate​ ​into​ ​the​ ​MS​ ​in​ ​Teaching,​ ​Learning​ ​&​ ​Curriculum program.

The​ teacher​ ​certification​ program​ requirements at​ ​Drexel​ ​University’s​ ​School​ ​of​ ​Education​ prepares ​students​ ​for​ ​a​ ​Pennsylvania​ ​Instructional​ ​I​ ​Certificate.

How to Get a Teaching Certification

1. Earn your bachelor's degree

The first step towards becoming a K-12 teacher is to earn a bachelor’s degree. If you earn a bachelor’s degree in a program that leads to teaching certification, such as elementary education or teacher education, you will graduate with all the requirements necessary to become a licensed teacher. If your bachelor’s degree is in a non-teaching program, you will need to follow the next steps on this list.

2. Decide what subject and/or grade level you want to teach

If you already have a bachelor’s degree, you can become a teacher through our teacher certification program. The first step is to determine what subject you would like to teach. Some students choose a subject that reflects their bachelor’s degree experience while others may choose a new subject that they are passionate about.

3. Complete a certification program

Once you have decided on a subject, you should enroll in a teacher certification program and focus on your chosen subject. You will complete required coursework for certification and gain the knowledge needed to complete the required Praxis exams.

4. Gain student teaching experience

While you complete your required coursework, you will also gain the required hours of student teaching experience. Most teacher certification programs require 12 weeks of student teaching experience. The School of Education’s Field Placement Office assists students with identifying student teaching opportunities in school districts close to where they live, anywhere in the U.S. and other parts of the world.

5. Pass your certification exams

Once you have completed your required courses and student teaching experience, you will schedule and sit for your Praxis exams. Passing the required exams is a critical final step to become a certified teacher. Passing the exams will allow you begin teaching in classrooms on your own. Some school districts may allow emergency certifications to allow teachers who have not completed their exams to teach in their schools for a certain period of time until they can pass the required exams.

6. Become licensed

Once you have passed the required exams, you will be issued an Instructional I teaching certificate in the state where you took the exams. As a certified teacher, you will be eligible for teaching positions in the subject in which you are certified. You can add additional certifications or complete requirements for an Instructional II teaching certificate as you advance in your career.

How Long Does it Take to Get a Teaching Certification?

A commonly asked question regarding our programs, is "how long is the teacher certification program"? If you already have a bachelor's degree, the elementary, middle level and secondary education programs typically take two years to complete. Drexel also offers a dual certification option for secondary and special education. A bachelor's degree program typically takes up to 4 years to complete.

Killexams : Teaching Certification

Students pursuing secondary teacher certification are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and cannot receive a grade lower than a “B” in any ESTM, EDUC and EDEX course. For certification, students must complete 38.5 credits of coursework (42.5 credits for MATH majors). In many cases, DragonsTeach coursework overlaps with degree requirements.

In most cases, students can complete the requirements for both an undergraduate degree and Pennsylvania teaching certification by their projected graduation date. However, depending on the program of study and the timing of entrance into the program, a additional post baccalaureate term(s) may be required to complete the requirements for Pennsylvania teaching certification.

Teacher Certification Forms

Please review the "Teacher Certification Forms” section of the School of Education’s website for a complete list of all forms and tests necessary for secondary teacher certification.

International Student Certification

By law (PA School Code §1202), all standard instructional certificate holders must be U.S. citizens. The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) will, however, allow non-U.S. citizens to teach under an “Alien Provisional Certification” for a maximum of six years. The Alien Provisional certificate will convert to a standard certificate once U.S. citizenship is attained. If U.S. citizenship is not obtained during the six year period, the candidate will no longer be legally eligible to continue employment. In order to qualify for an Alien Provisional Certificate, the candidate must:

  • Be a resident alien (green card), and
  • File a “declaration of intent” to become a U.S. citizen.

Teaching certification requirements vary from state to state and some states do not have a U.S. citizenship requirement to become certified to teach. We are willing and able to provide students who complete the DragonsTeach certification requirements (including student teaching) with a formal letter documenting the completion of a Pennsylvania-approved teacher certification program and verifying their preparation for the teaching profession. The U.S. Department of Education (DoE) offers a map to assist students in linking directly to departments of education and bureaus of professional certification in other states.

Killexams : Midway teacher gains national certification

Midway Independent School District’s number of national board certified teachers continues to grow with the district’s most exact instructor to join the lineup after completing the rigorous certification process.

Hewitt Elementary first grade teacher Wendi Singletary is officially the district’s seventh national board-certified teacher, becoming one of only 3% of teachers nationwide and just 0.33% of Texas teachers to achieve national board certification.

“Certification is all about reflective teaching and knowing your content and your students,” Singletary said. “Going through the process deepened both my desire and ability to reflect on my teaching practices and the needs and growth of my students.”

This is Singletary’s 22nd year in education and her fifth year teaching at Midway, which is one of the only school districts in Texas with its own in-house national board certified teacher program.

People are also reading…

Singletary began the process of earning her early childhood-generalist certification in Midway’s first national board cohort prior to the pandemic.

“I spent a year learning about the process and a year completing the four components working with mentors in Midway ISD and other teachers in my cohort,” Singletary said.

National board certification is the highest credential available in the teaching profession and the certification process typically spans multiple years. Through this process, Singletary completed an in-depth assessment and submitted a series of comprehensive portfolio entries demonstrating a proven impact on student learning and achievement.

“I believe every student deserves to learn something new every day,” Singletary said. “I love getting to know my students, discovering what they need to succeed, and helping them achieve.”

Midway ISD mentor coordinator and national board facilitator Kathleen Minshew said student learning is first and foremost in everything Singletary does as a classroom teacher.

“She is constantly thinking of new and innovative ways to teach and engage her students,” Minshew said. “She is the true definition of a lifelong learner.”

Singletary said she first learned about national board certification 10 years ago when she was being mentored by teachers who had already gone through the process.

“The things I learned from them stayed with me over the next decade,” Singletary said, “and I was delighted when Midway offered me an opportunity to participate in their certification cohort.”

Singletary will continue to be an active part of Midway’s national board cohort program as a mentor, providing the same support and guidance that first inspired her alongside the district’s other national board-certified teachers to over 25 Midway teachers currently pursuing certification.

“Teaching is a calling,” Singletary said, “and I love collaborating with others who are working toward the same goal.”

Research shows that children learn better when teachers have a specific type of training – the ‘gold standard’ of National Board Certification.

But dramatically fewer teachers in Alabama achieved that license during the pandemic – slowing the progress of what had been strong growth year over year, according to a state report tracking the impact of increased state funding for incentives last year.

“A student learns one to two months more being in a national board certified teacher’s classroom,” Alabama NBCT Network President Krista Marcum told AL.com.

Beyond becoming a better teacher, board certification has monetary perks, too.

All national board certified teachers who are currently teaching in a classroom earn a $5,000 state-funded stipend, and beginning in 2018, those who teach certain subjects in hard-to-staff schools earn an additional state-funded $5,000 every year.

State lawmakers allocated more than $15 million for the current year to pay stipends and help grow the number of National Board Certified Teachers. Lawmakers began funding annual monetary stipends for NBCTs more than 20 years ago, but the current year’s allocation is the highest funding to date.

The number of Alabama teachers earning National Board Certification dropped to 135 in 2021, according to a report covering the 2021-22 school year. The Alabama Department of Education prepared the annual report for lawmakers ahead of the start of the legislative session.

That annual number is just over half of what it was two years ago.

The state’s 1,700 NBCTs aren’t evenly distributed across the state. Of Alabama’s 139 school districts, 18 districts - most in rural areas - had no NBCTs last year. Another 20 districts had only one NBCT in the entire district. Fifteen districts have two NBCTs.

National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Chairman Travis Bristol said while having one or two NBCTs in a school is good, learning is really only improved for the students in those one or two classrooms.

“To create school transformation, you’re going to need to have a cluster of teachers,” he said, “and that’s something that the state could create some incentives around.”

Alabama’s $5,000 targeted supplement aims to attract NBCTs to hard to staff, high poverty schools.

And while the targeted supplement hasn’t proven to be a magnet, the number of board certified teachers working in hard-to-staff schools and earning the additional $5,000 stipend rose slightly from 151 in 2020 to 156 in 2021.

Authors of the report called the targeted supplement a “wonderful incentive,” but claim only three districts - Huntsville City, Jefferson County and Mobile County moved NBCTs from a “non-failing school to a failing school.”

The number of teachers applying for state-funded scholarships to help with the $1,900 cost of becoming board certified dropped, too, from 332 in 2020 to 251 in 2021. Scholarships were awarded in four of the 18 school districts without NBCTs:

  • Clarke County - 3 scholarships,
  • Macon County - 1 scholarship,
  • Perry County - 1 scholarship, and
  • Phenix City - 3 scholarships.

Decline in interest?

The drop in interest in pursuing board certification was likely due to a number of factors, Marcum said.

“I feel like there was just a lot going on in our state at the time. Elementary teachers were working on LETRS [literacy training], and that was a huge endeavor,” Marcum said.

COVID played a part, too, she added. “I saw a lot of teachers trying to learn how to teach online. It was a lot.”

Alabama’s decline mirrored a national trend.

National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Chairman Travis Bristol agreed there was a lot going on for teachers over the past couple of years.

“People were literally just trying to attend to their children,” he said. “I can imagine that many decided to, instead of attempting to pursue this application that is for them in service of their children, that they were just trying to ensure their children had some of the basic needs.”

He said he believes the numbers of new NBCT candidates will rebound moving forward.

And the latest numbers appear to support Bristol’s forecast. Alabama had 189 newly-certified NBCTs in 2022, according to newly released numbers. The next report will be issued in December.
