I've submitted my paperwork for retirement and am looking to transition into teaching in Northern California. I already have a PhD in Biochemistry & Cell Biology so I'm hoping to teach college eventually, but I'm looking at starting at the highschool level because it appears to be easier to find a position initially.

What I'm trying to figure out:

1) What schools in Northern California (Redding/Shasta area) are accredited for teaching certification?
2) What courses can I take while still here in Maryland/DC over the next 6 months to a year and then transfer over to California to finish my teaching degree there?

I'm already talking with Troops-to-Teachers but I've not gotten any specific answers. Looking from someone with teacher contacts in CA to help with info.

You need to get California teacher certification first. Your PhD isn't enough. My sister is a teacher and union rep in San Jose. Contact me off line and I can connect you with her...
