As a follow-up to Natusume's suggestion, I checked with the state of Virginia (where I am licensed to teach) and found out that I can indeed take the Praxis II tests for the content area(s) that I wish to be certified to teach. A passing score will result in the additional endorsement being placed on my teacher's license. I went ahead and registered to take the tests for Social Studies and Earth Science this spring.
I figure with these two endorsements, and my public school background, I should be more marketable to an international school than I would have with just the ESL and Business endorsements.
If anyone is curious about making the transition from TEFL to teacher licensure in the USA please let me know. I can give you the take on it in Virginia anyway...


Same way in Texas.
