ptcrusier333rph Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 This is the response I got back from Missouri Department of Education.I hope this will help other that want to get thier degree accreditted. We are unable to evaluate foreign credentials in this office. Before we can process yourapplication for a Missouri teaching certificate, you must send all transcripts and othercertification information to a United States credentialing agency that provides transcriptanalysis service. The analysis must be translated into English and include the following:specific course titles, credit hours earned, letter grades received, the cumulative gradepoint average, and a statement verifying the completed program's equivalency to a UnitedStates degree.After you receive the official analysis from the credentialing agency, you may apply for aMissouri teaching certificate. The official analysis from the credentialing agency will beaccepted in lieu of the institutional recommendation. Upon receipt of the completedapplication packet, our office will complete a course by course evaluation to determineyour eligibility for Missouri certification.You will need to complete a Missouri Teacher Certification Application and submitfingerprints for a Background Check. The certification requirements are available on theDESE website; http://www.dese.mo.gov/divteachqual/teachc...quirements.html .Although we do not endorse any of the agencies listed on the attached page, we havecontacted each of them and verified that they provide all the information we require.This information was current as of April, 2005.If you have any further questions, please contact our office at 573-751-0051.Rusty Rosenkoetter, CoordinatorEducator Certification in missouriRevised 04/05 Academic & Professional International Evaluations, Inc.Post Office Box 5787Los Alamitos, California 90721-5787Phone: (562) 594-6498Fax: (562) 594-8498Web site: www.apie.orgFee: $160.00 (course by course evaluation and grade point average)Contact the agency for instructions before sending documents.

LeeFisher3 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Seems like each State, if not each college seems to have their own individual determination on who is authorized to translate and evaluate courses. Missouri seems to have a larger than normal list of agencies. Guess it could be like getting the SSN or Drivers License, if you don't like the answer you get go to the next window or state.

tywy_99 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 An informative post.It gave me the incentive to email the Va DOE in regards to my wife, who taught in China. Maybe the DOE can put us(her) on the right path.My wife hasn't been able to find any kind of a job since she's been here and it's been most discouraging for her. I try to be the "great optimist" and keep her spirits up but it hasn't been easy on either of us.We'll see where this leads. Thanks, Robert Link to comment
