Hello folks.
Would you consider after-school experience (teaching in an after-school program) actual teaching experience?
If it helps in that determination, my program is licensed by the state, and we are required to follow K-12 standards. All teachers must be trained, although we do not need teaching certificates.
Thanks in advance. |

It would depend on what job you are applying for and what you did in your after-school program.
As a general rule....
Most hagwans would consider it valid as experience working with kids.
A PS after-school program would probably consider it and may give you the pay bump.
Most PS programs would not give you the pay bump for it as validated classroom experience.

Thanks for the response.
Another quick question: Would an unrelated MA (Social Sciences) and an unrelated teacher certification (4-12 Social Studies) increase my chances of receiving the pay-bump for PS?
Thanks in advance.
ETA: The MA is actually a MSS--Master of Social Sciences.

| It's teaching experience if it involves teaching, but of course there are different kinds of teaching experience. |
