Hello,

Fairly new to the forum and was hoping someone could help me out.

I'm currently applying to two schools in the states to get my teaching credentials & masters. For one of the programs, I will be working full time at a catholic school for two years while attending classes to get my credentials & masters. The other school provides an accelerated program where you earn a credential and masters in 15 months and after completion of the program, I would apply to work at a public school. For ISs, does it matter if I would be working at a private school as opposed to a public school for the 2+ years of experience? Ideally, I would like to attend the catholic school as it provides me with two years of teaching experience along with my credentials and masters in two years, setting me up to be qualified to apply for entry-level positions at International schools in a shorter amount of time.

Or, is there a completely different route that would be better in regards to eventually obtaining a position at an international school. (e.g. Teach now, Teach ready). How do you recommend I go about this?
