But this is not sufficient to teach - you need a credential - As far as i know there is only one online school suggesting that they offer an online credential - be wary of it tho - I know of noone who has taken it - do not even know what states they are in agreements with. here is the problem_ student teaching - all programs must have state requirements taken care of - tests, classes, state approval and student teaching. the student teaching is the problem - how can a large online school have the resources to mentor new teachers within their classrooms if the entire country needs to be covered - impossible. So look into it if you wish - but make sure its approved by your state - every state lists its approved programs on their teacher credentialing website. (its western governors uni btw if you want to research it) you can get your Ba – even a masters degree entirely online.
