Anybody know anything about not being certified to teach? I know they have programs to get certified, but I was wondering more about how the powers that be look at it. I have talked to a few people about jobs and it seems that as soon as I mention that Im not certified they take off running. I could understand if I was just randomly applying and other guys beat me out becuase they were certified, but these were guys that came to me with job stuff. One of which was a private school, which I thought for sure wouldnt be a big deal. Anyway...just give me any info or feedback you guys want to. The more I know about it the better I can do.
p.s. anybody know of anybody looking for a qb/wr coach? preferably in texas or a nearby state

Each state has their own rules, but many allow an individual with a BA/BS to take a subject matter test and get a certificate while some actually offer an "emergency" certificate if a job is being offered. My advice is to take and pass the subject matter test to get your initial certificate and then take whatever course work is needed to maintain it.

Check with your state dept. of education to see what their requirements are. I was able to take a subject matter test and get a provisional license which allowed me to get a job. Once I got the job I had to take classes one day a week for an entire year, at the end I was fully certified. That is NJ, but I am sure other states have similar programs. If you know any administrators talk with them they should know the process for your state.

my main question is more about how much you think it will hurt my chances of getting a job. Keep in mind that I have been talking to coaches and AD's, not school administrators. Im in the process of talking with people so im not sure it has hurt me, but I cant shake the feeling that they hear that im not licensed and they freak out and just throw my name in the trash.
