Admin Credential Online vs. From Home Country
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2024 7:28 pm
Hello folks.
TLDR: is it possible to get a full admin (principal's) credential online, or do practicums and other things necessitate being in your home country (one that is recognized by foreign governments for visa purposes....I live in the USA).
Basically I taught oversees for 10+ years and never got an admin credential because it didn't seem possible while abroad after some looking into. The closest I saw were the PTC courses and I did some of those before moving back to the States.
But now I'm back in the States and in a leadership grad program and it seems like I could have done this while abroad, including getting signed off for my 300 practicum type hours while teaching international. It makes me feel like I made a mistake by not tackling it online beforehand, but I think I found awhile back that it just wasn't possible for a number of reasons.
What do y'all think?
At the end of the day, while PTC and all of the different things they offer seem good, I'm kind of happy to be in a US state, getting the admin credential, and then experience, because it seems like the most legit way to make it happen. Let me know what you think.
