Thanks guys. I found the ODE website yesterday and did some looking around. i will just give them a call to see what exactly I need. I know I will take a pay cut from what I make now but I have wanted to be a teacher for a long time, not sure why I didn't go that route from the begining. Although I have not worked with kids the past 4 years all my experience up to that point was working with children. (probation, foster care, drug and alcohol treatment, ect).
