Career Pathways in Education: Using Your Foreign Education in the United States

Career Pathways in Education: Using Your Foreign Education in the United States is a practical guide for internationally trained immigrant educators who are interested in pursuing a career in education or related fields in the United States. Published by World Education Services, the guide acknowledges the challenging circumstances that these educators often face as they try to rebuild their careers in the U.S. The publication includes information about different career pathways, certification requirements for each, and the different types of schools in the United States. The guide details the process of acquiring U.S. recognition for an international degree or certification as well as information regarding the time and cost involved in acquiring a teaching certificate. In addition, the publication provides helpful suggestions for skills that can be transferred to related careers with less onerous entry requirements. Along with resources about careers in education, this guide encourages all immigrants to be flexible, remain persistent and take initiative as they embark on their professional journey in the United States. (Deb D'Anastasio for The Immigrant Learning Center's Public Education Institute)
