| I keep reading the phrase "teaching license" here at Dave's. Is this term the equivalent of "teaching credential?" I'm in California and hold a multiple subject credential (for elementary classrooms). |

| I use the word "teaching license" to refer to a qualification that allows you to teach in public schools in your country of origin. |

Thanks.
Do you think the term license more recognized internationally than credential? |

I'm not really much of an authority, but to me a license means something that legally allows you to teach somewhere...a recognition from the government that you have adequate training to teach in a public school. The word "credential" could mean anything from a short online TEFL certificate to a master's degree...but the word itself to me doesn't say "legally qualified to teach in a public school." In any case, as long as the "teaching credential" is accompanied on your resume by "California Public Schools," I think it probably gets the point across. |

| Very true, but using the more recognized vocabulary could eliminate a misunderstanding that might lead to a quick negative decision. I'd rather be safe than sorry when creating a resume. |

I'd pay close attention to the wording on potential employers literature then. |

Yes, indeed. |
