I have this form I need to fill out for a background check and have a question concerning filling out the education section. It asks me to list prior education. I attended 3 colleges, but only listed the college I graduated from on my resume. Should I list the other two colleges on the verification form?

I would include them, unless there was a reason you didn't want them to know about it.

This is not a help wanted forum, and second, you should not post what your looking for in someone else's thread.

Try New York City or Los Angeles. These are huge urban school districts with high turnover rates and endless public school teacher shortages. Should not be difficult at all to find a teaching job. They'll even pay to send you to graduate school to get teacher licensing credentials.

Aren;t there teaching jobs in the Phillipines? Read the news, there's a major recession going on here AMERICANS are standing in line looking for any type of job they can get, degreed, credentialed teachers are taking menial jobs in grocery stores, what makes you think you'd have a chance in line behind them? Or do you plan to cut in line somehow with a visa status?

I would list the courses studied at each individual college. It really makes no difference if you actually GRADUATED from each individual college, but only if you PASSED the individual course. People take online courses all the time from various colleges and it counts. In this day and age....anything you have to put you a step beyond your competitors is important.

Good luck to you!!

I wouldn't include them unless they are different in some way - such as, if you went to a tech school for one type of certification, community college for associates degree, then 4 yr university for final degree. If you went to one and dropped out, then later went to the 2nd and then dropped out and ended up getting your degree from the 3rd, I don't think I'd mention the 1st two. Perhaps if one of the other 2 are high-ranked schools and you did complete a course of study there, then it might not hurt to have them listed.
Otherwise, I just don't think it is important. They may want transcripts (or what happened to me recently, they want my SSN so they can verify my education), so IMO it just makes it easier to list only the school where you earned your degree.
