常见问题解答
一般来说，简短的回答是肯定的.
Many states have what are called reciprocity agreements that establish mutual recognition of the licenses 和 teacher training acquired outside the teaching c和idate’s 首页 state. 传统上, California has been among the states with the highest number of reciprocity agreements. In other words, a teaching credential from California is widely recognized elsewhere. Whether or not your state has a specific reciprocity agreement with California, you will in all likelihood be allowed to teach back 首页 for a fixed length of time under some sort of provisional license granted by that state on the basis of the preliminary California credential you earned through Westmont. 一旦你找到了工作, you work with the teacher certification office in your 首页 state toward a full credential.
如果你现在知道你想在一个特定的州教书, it may be helpful to contact the specific office of teacher certification for current requirements—see Useful Links on the Department’s web page. 还记得, 然而, 国家的要求经常处于重新协商的状态, 和 it may not be possible to know exactly where you st和 in another state until you have your credential from California in h和.
在很多情况下，是的. Students who enter college with an unusually strong academic background, 谁从一开始就仔细计划, 和 who are willing to take summer classes may be able to participate in a wide variety of programs—potentially including the Europe semester.
It depends partly, of course, on what specific off-campus program you are considering. A program at a sister liberal arts college where you are able to take classes parallel to those required at Westmont will be more feasible for a broader range of students than a less traditional off-campus program.
Bear in mind that Westmont offers a number of exciting off-campus 和 international programs during the summer months—programs that are less apt to complicate your schedule than those offered during the academic year. Students who are unable to participate in the Europe semester often enroll in Westmont’s Europe Mayterm.
艾莉森·朱迪19岁 discovered that Westmont prepared her in more than one way to become a teacher. “The faith-filled teachings 和 relationships with friends 和 teachers cultivated the compassion 和 perspective necessary for approaching teaching from the heart,她说。.
大流行期间, nine Westmont student teachers used their creativity during this unique 和 challenging season while learning to teach. Placed in four schools in the Santa Barbara Unified 和 Hope School Districts, 学生们参加了韦斯特蒙特大学的证书课程, 无论是网上的还是面对面的, while collaborating with their cooperating teachers in a remote K-12 classroom.
