    Hi,

    I’ve been recently considering returning to college to attain/up skill to a second teacher recognized subject (Teaching Council Approved). I’m currently in full time employment.


    Unfortunately my undergraduate degree had shortfalls when put forward to the teaching council to teach science and/or geography.


    I was wondering if anyone had any experience and perhaps recommendations of courses to study/undertake - science/geography would be two areas I would have experience/interest in teaching but open to other suggestions.

    Thanks

    You don't say what the shortfalls are in terms of credits, and in terms of science did you just apply for JC Science or did you apply for LC Science subject?

    With science you would have to attend college for the labs at least. No way around that. Wouldn't have a clue about geography requirements.
