Question:c What if I am interested in another certification, not grades 1-5?

Answer:

If you are interested in PK-3, you should still consider this grades 1-5 pathway. The state of Louisiana allows you to take the PRAXIS test for PK-3 after you have the 1-5 grades certification. You may want to take a couple of extra courses about early childhood education before you take the test. Then you end up with two certifications. If you are interested in the grades 4-8 certification or the grades 6-12 secondary certification, you should consult the course catalog for the institution for which you would like to attend, and then consult the crosswalk on BRCC’s home page to take only courses that you know will transfer. To learn more about teacher certification, visit the Louisiana Department of Education Teacher Certification page.
