5 minutes on foot or I can take the school shuttle if I choose. That of course is when we are back to teaching in person. Right now it's a 10 second trip from my bedroom to my office for virtual.

I applied for my QTS from Texas last year and received it via email within a week. I don't remember the cost, but it wasn't overly expensive. At the time I had 12 years of teaching experience with certification in Language Arts, Reading, Social Studies, SPED, and EAL. My B.A. is in English, but I also have a MEd and MSEd in two different disciplines unrelated to the English degree. My advice is follow the directions to the "T." I have known people to get turned away purely for the fact that they missed something.
