<p>I want to be a Spanish teacher and I want to go to a good school for teachers. Some schools I already have in mind are:</p>

<p>-Bowling Green (OH)
-Grand Valley (MI)</p>

<p>That's only 2 schools and I need more schools than that.</p>

<p>I'm looking for schools in the general northeast area, so I made a map and outlined in pink where I'm looking for:

<p>I don't want to go to New York because it has the impression of being too expensive and too city like and I don't think that's for me, but if it's really not that big of a deal, then maybe I will look into it, but I prefer not to.</p>

<p>Some colleges like Swarthmore are nice, but they are too hard to get in and are private schools, therefore they are way too expensive (Swarthmore = $37K per year!)</p>

<p>Any help is appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>FYI, that is not the northeast. That is the midwest. So you are looking for schools in the midwest to work in the northeast? </p>

<p>The northeast is usually considered New England and the Tri-State area and Philli.</p>

<p>I’m looking for good schools in the midwest. Wow I thought that was the northeast because it’s in the north and east part of the US.</p>

<p>They are very different parts of the country with extremely different cultures, politics and lifestyles. </p>

<p>Aside from being two different places you needy rid yourself of stereotypes. Yes new York city is very city like. It’s on of the busiest cities in the country but new York isn’t only new York city. New York is 54,475 square miles, the city is about 308. If you don’t like cities that’s fine, go upstate new York. I don’t know if you would consider going into the SUNY system but the SUNY system is the public school system in new York. The tuition is not crazy even if you are out of state. The total yearly cost (tuition included) is around 30 a year. Besides you may want to go to a public school because teaching is not something you need an ivy league school degree to be good at. </p>

<p>But in all honesty I would recommend you stay in your state and check out the local public school because like I said you do not need an ivy league/ private school degree to be a good teacher.</p>

<p>You also want to get a teaching certificate in a state where you would later like to work, since where ever you go to school is the state your certification will be valid in. You can always earn certification from other states later, but to start off, think about where you want to live and work after college. Also, and I don’t mean to be nasty, but usually anyone who watches television news or weather learns pretty quickly where the “northeast” region of the country is - you might want to study more geography. Teachers, even foreign lang. teachers, have to be credible and knowledgeable - the country is very demanding of teachers these days!</p>

<p>If you want to teach in a different state than your college, check to make sure that there is reciprocity between the two.</p>

<p>Yeah I wouldn’t pay out of state tuition to a public unless it was really worth it,</p>

<p>You can check out rivier college, it is a college that specializes in teaching. With a degree from that school to will be certified to teach in 42 states.</p>
