The real challenge is understanding this presentation.

So excited I have a bachelors in business and getting info about starting credential process . It’s overwhelming and yes there are many options ! That’s correct . However many guidelines and things you need to do before entering the program. I’m glad that now my math and English courses can be used in the place of certain exams ! So excited !

Dear Fox,

Would it possible include a link to the opportunities your presenters are offering or possibly ask the presenter to explain where people need to go. It's very odd you would never explain to people where to go to receive an intake.

1:19 Absolute lie. What multiple pathways? All of it requires taking major pay cut because I would have to start at Step 1 and be paid significantly less than what I'm worth with 10+ years of industry subject-matter experience as well as training experience because that's how the credentialing process works as well as union-created contracts that has no matriculation process for ensuring fair compensation for those with working experience. And so if I'm working with adults and can be paid around $83k for established set of hours, versus being forced to start at Step 1 at the relevant education background (Which is all they look for), it makes zero sense to ever enter teaching, even as a substitute teacher.

And on top of that, stupid DEI and woke activists makes it so I am not teaching the material, I am baby sitting fragile GenZ kids and their dysfunctional families because progressives don't value education systems in what makes you successful in the world, unless "professional victim" is what you're aiming toward.

The world doesn't care what your pronouns are or what your skin color is. They care if you can apply math in a working environment and achieve results for what you want to do (e.g. put up a roof). And there are ZERO pathways for industry experts in this field to enter the education sector because it's clear the CTC doesn't value industry experts, but only those who want to subject themselves to the woke agenda and be molded out by the teaching credentialing process to follow the idea that 'math is racist'. A website that puts on a pretty infograph isn't a "new approach", it's just putting lipstick on a pig.
