Troops to Teachers

SFC (Join to see), do you know if Troops to Teachers can help a vet get their teaching cert if they've been out for a good amount of time? (I've been out about 13 years.) I would need assistance paying for the certification because I'm tapped out on undergrad aid.

Also, if you already have a degree, does it make the process easier? I have a couple of Bachelors degrees (History and Anthropology) and a Masters (Higher Education Student Affairs) and would LOVE to teach history at the secondary level (or social studies at K-8).

PO3 (Join to see) - I do believe that if its not easier with a degree already in hand, it's at least quicker. I had my degree (BA in English) so it was exceptionally easy, in my opinion.
I was in Texas at the time. I first tried substitute teaching to make sure that I liked it. I didn't want to end up owing the Army money for something I didn't enjoy. Turns out I loved it.
First thing I did was enroll in the tTTT program. Then I found an alternative certification program that suited me and my needs. My program was called I Teach Texas, a self-paced program that I liked.
Once I was enrolled in both the TTT program and the alternative certification program, I was then eligible to be hired as a full time teacher, even though I had not completed my program yet.
I was able to do the majority of my program in the spring (while subbing) and summer. I got hired full time in July and starting teaching the semester after I had subbed.
TTT paid for the cost of the alternative certification program. I would not have been able to pay for that on my own with what a sub teacher makes.
Lease let me know if I can answer any more questions.

Thanks so much for the info!
