WA science cert programs?
Thoughts appreciated. Seattle area.
Career changer here, maybe!
I have a bachelor's of science and master's in food systems. Over the past 7 years, I have been a winemaker, culinary gardener, community conservation organizer, and now work as an environmental educator on a nonprofit farm, developing fields trips and workshops.
I am looking for recommended WA science teacher certification programs in the Seattle area. Also interested in work placement for job security. Do you have similar experience?
Biology seems reasonable, considering my background in agriculture and outdoors, though I have a love for politics and history too. Chem would be challenging, but doable. My ideal role would be earth science and garden teacher for some funky school, but I can button up nicely as needed.
Conversely, what does it take to teach at the community college level?
My partner also works in schools, so that could be nice. Long term, the stability and summers off together would help start a family.
Your advice?
