If this qualifies you to teach in the US (does it? Don't know enough about the US system to guess), then yes, it would be recognized. You can then apply for a position at a school and would complete an Overseas Trained Teacher Programme. Check out this link: http://www.tda.gov.uk/Recruit/thetrainingprocess/typesofcourse/ottp.aspx

There are national search firms for educational administrators. Go where you can get a job.

I have an M.A. and it is viewed as something that makes you more qualified in your subject area for sure, and also boosts your pay. If I want to go into administration, or work for the government in curriculum development for example, I would need to get an M.Ed. I have friends doing that currently, and I don't think in terms of difficulty, that they are equal. The M.A. was definitely more rigorous.

I did my MA in applied linguistics at the University of Melbourne. I have a number of friends that completed their MA's in Education there as well. Melbourne University is the TOP university in Australia. Check the UK Times Educational Supplement - university rankings of world universities http://www.thes.co.uk/worldrankings/ if you need confirmation. I loved going there. I am American too, and chose the school because of its excellent reputation and faculty. Check it out! http://www.unimelb.edu.au/

G'day, There are plenty area in Master of Education that you can choose from. Unfortunately there are no universities in Australia that offers all of the area of study. There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content. In regards to ranks, there are plenty of organisations trying to make ranks of the universities in Australia and the world, but none of them are recognised by the Australian government. The famous/favourite ones will be the one in the Group of 8 (www.go8.edu.au), but it is mainly for promotional effort as none of the universities can claim that they are the best at everything. I am happy for the first answerer that he finds uni of Melbourne is suitable for him. Unfortunately there are also ppl who do not like uni of Melbourne, so as you can see, how good/bad the uni is in the eye of the beholder. To find out the latest info abt course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to the Dept. of Education, Science and Training website (http://cricos.dest.gov.au). It will give the list of institutions that are able to offer courses to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The info abt fees and requirements are available from the universities' websites. Please make sure that the information you are accessing are the one for International Students. Once decided on the institution, fill in the application form for the international students and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language). The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year. Hope this helps. Good luck on your studies and welcome to Australia :)

To apply for a teaching job for the alternate route program or obtaining master in education
To apply for a teaching job for the alternate route program or obtaining master in education?
I have a Major in Computer Science and minor in Mathematics and am interested in teaching Math and computers. Would that be enough or would I have to take additional math courses to be able to apply for a teaching position (after I finish taking my necessary certification tests). When they say 30 semesters of Math courses, does that also include computer science courses and science courses? Also, shoudl I go through alternate route or shoul I go towards a masters in education instead. Thank You

Math teachers are in demand and most systems are always looking for good ones. I would suggest that you contact the personal dept. of a school system near you and ask them. You can also ask your college advisers if you are still taking classes. I do always suggest that if you can , get your masters degree. It will increase your pay by 5,000 or more a year in many areas. I was never able to get mine, but have 12 years teaching experience.

it depends on what your state requires. each state is different. Florida, for example, requires certain college classes and degree plus a state exam before receiving certification.

I am hoping to attain a Master of Education. Do I just apply to schools that offer the credential
I am hoping to attain a Master of Education. Do I just apply to schools that offer the credential?
Would I need to take GREs or other grad school exams to get into a masters of education program? Is it competitive to get into a M. Ed. program? I am an undergrad majoring in Psychology in California. Would it be better if I switch to education studies major? If anyone can give me any clarification, that would be great. Thank you!

M.Ed programs generally not competitive at all, even at better schools. GREs will definitely be required, but just scoring the minimum is enough. No, it wont matter if you switch.

Do you have to have a Bachelors in Education in order to get a Master in Education and teach high school
Do you have to have a Bachelors in Education in order to get a Master in Education and teach high school?
I am getting my BS in philosophy/honors degree but would like to teach high school humanities/philosophy courses. Would I need to have a BA in education before I could do that? Or could I get a Masters in Education and teach?

where do you live? In Canada - no. You have to have your Bachelors in Education - after completing your University course and your teachers college then you can teach.
2
You should be able to go in as a lateral entry. This allows you to teach in an area that you already have a degree, like you stated. You may have to go back to college to take a few courses as you work. Check with your local board of education to find out thier requirements.

No, you do not have to have your Bachelor's in Education to do a Master's in Teaching. My sister's degree was in Theatre, and she did a Master's of Education and is teaching. Another option, if you don't want to do a full Master's degree (2 years) right off, is to do a Post-Bachelor's Teaching Certificate. These programs are 1 year, intensive teacher training. (Classes in Ed Psych, Educational Theory, Student Teaching, Praxis Exams) I've heard good things about these programs, and just about every smaller state university offers this program. http://www.education.pitt.edu/programs/certificates.aspx Here's a link to some of these certifications offered at Pitt. (close to where I am)

I'd go for the Master's in Education, you can get the certification, but the Master's is just one or two more classes and they pay you for the Master's, the certificate, no pay.
5
I have a BA in Political Science and then received a MS in education and after that an ED.D. You would need to take sufficient courses in a field such as English in order to teach in a high school. Contact your state education department for an exact description of the requirements./
