- Sort of a side-issue here, but somewhat related. I have been trying
- to find out, in California, what is required to teach at the Junior
- (2 year) college level. I have been told various things by JC teachers
- and administrators. I've been told, amoung other things that:
-
- 1. You need a masters degree in the subject you are going to teach.
-
- 2. Computer Science is an exception and X years of work experience
- can be substituted for a masters.
-
- For example, I have 2 bachelors degrees; Math (for Teachers) and CS.
- A year towards my masters (in 1981). I have 12 years
- of work experience (a small amount teaching related) in Computer
- Science (mostly software design and development, a small amount
- teaching related). Lots of experience coaching, teaching, playing
- waterpolo and swimming.
-
- If I wanted to make myself the most marketable in terms of teaching
- and coaching (aquatics) at a JC, would I:
-
- 1. Get a Masters degree in Math and be able to teach Math and CS?
- 2. Get some sort of educational Masters degree?
- 3. Get a CS Masters Degree?
-
- I'm not really interested in obtaining a masters degree in Math. CS
- would be fun. An Educational Masters degree would probably be
- the most interesting for me at this point.
