Are there any alternative teaching certification programs for secondary school in Iowa?

Question

I'm going to get my bachelor's in psychology and sociology, but I can't afford to stop working for a semester to student teach.

Answer 1

Check on the dept. of ed. website for Iowa.  We have one in our state & I am so thankful I completed it.  Wish I'd done it sooner and saved myself 10 miserable years.
