Currently, iteach is not approved to offer a license in Middle School subject areas in Nevada. However, you can still teach the middle school grades under either an Elementary (K-8) or Secondary (7-12) license. Below are some key differences between those two options, but we also strongly suggest speaking to your school to better understand if they have a preference for your licensure area.
Elementary: You may be hired (and issued an ARL license) prior to passing the Praxis II subject area. You are not required to take the PLT exam at all. You are required to take 5 methodology courses and must have 6 hours (from a university) in Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Secondary: You are required to pass Praxis II subject area exam to be hired (and issuance of an ARL license). You will need to take the PLT prior to earning Standard License. You will need to take 1 methodology course. You are not required to have any undergraduate pre-requisite courses.
