<p>Hey, would any of you mind answering a couple of questions I have? First of all, I have just completed college in the UK, after studying for an Education Diploma. After researching on the UCLA website, I have found out that this is enough to get me studying in America (as I have all the grades I need).</p>
<p>The questions are:</p>
<p>Which University/College is best suited for studying Education?
When is the best time to start applying?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>“When is the best time to start applying?” : Now.</p>
<p>Are you interested in pursuing an undergraduate degree in Education, or a post-graduate degree?</p>
<p>Where do you want to teach?</p>
<p>What is your subject area?</p>
<p>When you know the answers to these questions, you will be able to start looking for a good place to study.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>Are you interested in pursuing an undergraduate degree in Education, or a post-graduate degree?
Undergraduate.</p>
<p>Where do you want to teach?
Im not sure, either Elementry in the US or the equivalent in the UK.</p>
<p>What is your subject area?
Elementary Education and Teaching (psychology) is what I was hoping to study.</p>
<p>When you know the answers to these questions, you will be able to start looking for a good place to study.</p>
<p>Unless you are a US citizen, or already hold legal permanent residence status in the US, you will most likely be unable to get a teaching job here. In some states, you might not even be able to do any practice teaching which would mean that you wouldn’t be able to earn a preliminary teaching credential.</p>
<p>If you are a citizen/permanent resident, teacher hiring is often very local. You should choose your teacher training program based on the state (or even part of state) that you want to work in.</p>
<p>Each state board of education sets its own regulations for teacher training. Some states recognize teaching licenses issued by other states, some don’t. If they don’t you might be hired on a “temporary certificate” and then need to take more classes in order to cover material specific to that state. This is another reason for choosing to study in the state where you want to work.</p>
<p>Teacher training programs also vary quite a bit from one country to another. If you want to work in the UK, a US degree might not be considered appropriate preparation.</p>
<p>Perhaps the U.S. schools that are good for graduate degrees in education would also be good for undergraduate training.
