    As an IT Professional trying to get back into teaching, I found this article very helpful.
    I am already certified in NJ as a Teacher of Art (k-12) and am currently studying for the Praxis II for Elementary Education (k-5). I am hopeful that I pass the first time and can continue my move back into education at the Elementary School level.

    This is the best website that I have encountered on helping students become teachers. I am now getting my associates degree and I am only in my second semester. So this information is just amazing. I am really thankful that I received an email from this website.
