Frequently Asked Questions
You may apply at any time; iteach enrolls students on a continual basis.
No. No matter what bachelor’s degree you have, it’s your subject matter expertise, combined with your successful completion of our program, that makes you eligible to teach. We’ll teach you what you need to know and do in order to be a successful teacher yourself.
You will need to pass the Praxis Subject Test for the subject you want to teach before you can get hired and apply for the Conditional Certificate in a Teaching Field (CCTF). Please refer to the ETS Praxis test overview for Alabama here and select Conditional Certificate in a Teaching Field (CCFT) from the dropdown menu to identify the Praxis Subject Test that you will be required to take and pass for the subject that you want to teach. Candidates for teaching fields without a Praxis Subject Test can demonstrate content knowledge through a major or 30 credit hours with 18 upper division hours in the content area.
No, iteach is not an institution of higher education and therefore is not able to accept federal financial aid.
You can complete all program-required instructional coursework within a couple of months. The entire iteach program, including your teaching residency, is designed to be completed within one school year. However, you have two full school years to find a teaching position as long as you are enrolled in the iteach program. Depending on the number of prior alternative certificates you have held in the past, you may have up to three years on a CCTF to complete all remaining program requirements.
Most candidates will be required to take and pass the edTPA to be eligible for a Professional Educator Certificate. Candidates who teach on a CCTF for three years may take the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) in lieu of the edTPA. Candidates for teaching fields that do not have an edTPA handbook will take the PLT.
