I have two teaching degrees, one in Industrial Technology and one in Special Education.
The one thing I've learned, is that a good teacher can teach almost any subject. It's lots of work, but the teacher would research the new subject, then break it down into small progressive steps. Each one of these steps are then applied to a lesson plan. The lesson plan lays out the classroom theory, the physical steps the student takes such as lab/shop work and a test to prove the student learned the subject. If the majority of students don't receive an A or B, the teacher failed, not the student.
You don't always need to be a master of the subject. You have to be a master at teaching.
Good luck in your search.

True…., but the trouble sometimes starts when the teacher researches a subject to teach from only one angle or perspective, because they don’t have a mastery, or a good working knowledge of the subject taught. Then they can find themselves struggling to teach all students.
Not everyone learns the same way, at the same rate, or by the same methods, and I’m not talking of people who have a learning disability.
Personal story time.
I, and am sure that all of us had some school teachers that knew the subject material well, but struggled to reach all the students because they only knew how to teach a subject in one certain way only. I had a high school teacher that taught Chemistry, Physics, and a course she devised solely on her own and forced through administration called Science Math, because the Math Dept was struggling to reach all students in prep for her classes. She was a kind, compassionate, patient teacher who wrote her personal home phone number on the blackboard first day in class for after hours homework help. Unfortunately she was as guilty as the Math Dept in presenting the subject matter in a singular way, and failed to comprehend that some of us (me) needed occasional alternative routes to the destination (the right answer).
Being an excellent teacher isn’t easy or for the faint of heart.
I agree, good point.True…., but the trouble sometimes starts when the teacher researches a subject to teach from only one angle or perspective, because they don’t have a mastery, or a good working knowledge of the subject taught. Then they can find themselves struggling to teach all students.

I didn't mean to draw this thread off track. I hope the OP finds a good teacher.
JH school, 7th grade, New Jersey, industrial arts class, mid 70’s,
Topic —— How to make keys from rivets and pick locks.
Home economics —— how to make apple sauce and brownies
Ah the wonderful education we received.

Not to derail this thread. They talk about how much more advanced education is now and they are pushing so much more advanced topics so much sooner. However we went to the ice cream stand in the park yesterday. The high schooler told me it was 9 bucks so I handed them a 20. They grabbed the proper 11 bucks change at first then second guessed themselves. I ended up getting $19.10 back in change. I just had to laugh take my 11 bucks and hand the rest back to them.
I love to add in the change when I go to a drive up window. Price 8.53 and I will give them 10.53.
I am amazed at how long it takes most of the help to figure out the change. No fun if they have a cash register that does it for them. I do math in my head all of the time. The young people I see a lot can not nor do they want to.

I think it’s a good idea to introduce kids to shop class, and home ec at an early age, but unfortunately with standardized tests, that ship has sailed.JH school, 7th grade, New Jersey, industrial arts class, mid 70’s,

I have spoken with others from across the country, and it seems Ohio was (it’s no longer a course) the only one to have a state wide 7th grade class solely on Ohio History. We studied all about the French and Indian wars, Treaty of Logan’s Elm, Fort Defiance, Battle of Toledo, how the capital bounced around from Chillicothe to Zanesville, to Chillicothe, then finally Columbus. And how in 1952 it was discovered that Ohio had technically never been admitted into the Union and some retroactive law was passed that back dated it back to 1802 (sounds shady).
Did any of the other 49 states, or Canadian provinces have a similar course?

Not bad considering 8 presidents have come from Ohio. In 1803 Congress made an oversight and never made an official vote.
late 60's jr hi
grew up in a very small town in texas
we had a year of texas history
very interesting actually since tx had an extremely diverse history
owned by 4 other nations early on (including france then mexico)
then became a nation itself before being admitted to the union which is the 6th flag over texas

In 1889, Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office. He is widely quoted as having stated that the patent office would soon shrink in size, and eventually close, because… “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”
Good luck in your search, but round these parts tech schools don’t require certificates either but they do usually match current straight time pay ranges. Is TX hourly that low?

I just turned down a teaching job. I asked 6 things and pulling teeth and hair eventually got 4 of them answered. They could not tell me where the class would be taught, which I thought was weird they have a building. The last and maybe the most important was were they going to provide me with a cell phone for contact? 5 hours a week and it was an hour drive on a good day one way to the building they have now.
This is not a fly by night group they have been around in my area for at least 20 years. I am getting old and just do not put up with BS these days.
When I taught in Phoenix for the community college district. Everything was laid out and the district provided me with an email address from the college for all contact with the students. One semester and then they grumbled about no teaching cert. Even though I had taken the teaching trades class which they had created for tradesmen like me that wanted to help spread the knowledge about.
