Answer 1 :
my good friend applied to be a physical eduction teacher in (south county) Missouri at the school and after they did a back-round check he was hired the next day. sounds pretty easy. of course you have to show your college requirements.
Answer 2 :
I completed my B.S. at Kansas State University and I am in the process of getting my Colorado license, no extra course work required. My husband is in the military and we'll be moving a lot, so this is something I checked into. The only thing I did have to do was take the PRAXIS II exam in Colorado, it seems that all states require that you take that particular test in their state. Otherwise, Kansas does a pretty good job of having high standards for their teachers. I've been talking to some of my fellow new faculty members and they didn't have to do nearly the amount of work I had to do. The Education Dept. of your school should also have a list of all of the DOEs and their contact information. A counselor or advisor should be able to help you out if you have further questions.
Answer 3 :
Here is a website about what you need to know about out-of-state licensing for Missouri. I would get a teaching license in Kansas if it's required to have one in Missouri. http://www.dese.mo.gov/divteachqual/teachcert/forms.html#Out-of-State%20Applicants
Answer 4 :
A previous post gave you the website for DESE. Be sure to check that out. When I got my teaching certificate in MO 8 years ago, MO would except teaching certificates from any of the states that boarder it. However, while I was in college, the teaching laws, rules and regulations were changing like crazy, so who knows what they will require now. You can also try to track down a phone number for the MO Dept. of Education in Jeff City. Just before I graduated, I had to make a few phone calls and the folks in the office there were wonderful to me and they really knew their stuff.
Answer 5 :
You will have to find out what Missouri requires for a teaching certificate. The first address is for the department of education and the second is for the testing requirements. http://dese.mo.gov/divadm/humanres/index.html http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.c988ba0e5dd572bada20bc47c3921509/?vgnextoid=3b4baf5e44df4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD&vgnextchannel=d378197a484f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD
