    loan for teachers programs

    I think Annie originally said she needed a teachers graduate program for student loans. Schools which meet the guidance accreditation standards can only have a certain number of "guidance internships" available each year. Annie will need to check with the loaner to see if Liberty meets their criteria.
    Generally the guidance curriculum must include, "an internship in guidance" supervised by appropriate faculty and field staff (usually means by guidance professionals), School Law, curriculum development, learning theory, theories of counseling, a course in counseling which targets the age level of the sought endorsement, group counseling, Career counseling, etc. Each states specific requirements may vary a little, but the core requirements should be the same nationwide.
    If the degree meets the national standards, then licensing would be reciprocal to most states.
    The two things Annie seems to require are masters level program with a major or speciality in guidance and a program which meets the loaners requirement of being from an accredited teacher training program.
    One can go to schools which are not teacher training programs and earn requirements to be endorsed in their own state. The question for Annie is would that be OK with the loaner?
    All the best!
