Good afternoon,
Over many years people have shared with me that they had once thought about teaching as a career. For some reason or another they decided to follow a different career path, but teaching had continued to be a thought in their mind. Unfortunately, now they just were not able to go back to get the teaching degree they once considered. Maybe you have once had that thought. If you did, I have an opportunity for you to consider!
The State of Iowa created a pathway to the classroom in the form of a substitute authorization. This license will provide you the opportunity follow the path you once had pondered and will allow you to share your passion for learning with our students. Please review the following information and contact us as we would enjoy talking to you about how we can help.
