I'm interested in making a career change and need help in how I should go about it. I graduated in May 2007 with BA in Studio Art and currently work in the special events office at a local art center. I love my job but due to budget cuts, I fear that some of the positions will be terminated. I coach soccer on the side and have loved that so much as well that it only made sense for me to consider teaching art as a career. This is where my dilemma begins. Because I didn't participate in art education program in college I’m not eligible to teach and I’m too early to be considered for what Fairfax County considers a career-switcher which requires you to have 5 years of work experience outside of graduation. So what does a BA in Studio Art do to get trained to be a potential ms or hs art teacher? I'm also looking for the most affordable and time friendly process since I will still have to maintain a full time job and support myself while paying for my certification courses.
