How to earn my reading specialist PK-12 certification in PA?

I earned my M.Ed. in secondary education in TN, and later, I transferred my cert to PA, where I'm now certified to teach English 7-12.

I read TIMS's page on instructional add-ons, and it says the reading special cert requires passing the Praxis and completion of a state-approved certification program. Does this mean that I would need to return to school? Or is the program I completed in TN sufficient?

Seeking information about literacy education and reading specialist certification in Ontario, Canada. Does anyone have experience in this?

I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm having a hard time navigating what to do to start my career.

I currently live in the United States but want to move back to Canada. I have a bachelor's degree in linguistics. I am not currently a teacher but I am interested in pursuing a career as a reading specialist. Essentially, I want to be the person who helps struggling readers using intervention strategies, within the general classroom or using a supporting classroom. I would prefer early childhood and elementary school but I'm not tied to that age range.

I've found plenty of information about this in my state (New York). However I can't seem to find any information about becoming a reading specialist in Canada (specifically Ontario). Is this not really a position within the public school system in Ontario? Do I have any options in Ontario besides becoming a general classroom teacher?

Data Specialist Certification - Practical Exam Help Needed

Has anyone taken the Data Specialist certification course before? I'm on the practical exam portion of the course (final step) and can't figure out how to connect their MySQL OBDC driver to workbench to save my life. I have the OBDC Data Source Administrator (64 bit) downloaded to Windows, have added the data source with the criteria they provide (see image), but it just will not work properly when I try to create the job in workbench and I have no idea where I'm going wrong here.

Attached is a screenshot of the instructions... any tips/suggestions?

Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist Certification

Does anyone have this certification (MSCS), and if so, do you have any study tips or guidance? I saw some study guides on the MSCS website from 2015 but not sure if that and the references it cites are adequate enough.

Which Relativity Specialist Certification to go for?

So I'm going to be getting a voucher for a free specialist exam from Relativity but wasn't sure which one I should go for. I'm relatively new to doc review and have only done first-level review but would like to eventually focus more on ediscovery. Are the certifications difficult to obtain if I don't have any hands-on experience with the backend?

What's the benefit of getting a SCYM(ASCP) or any other Specialist level ASCP certifications?

Howdy r/medlabprofessionals community!

Does anyone know what are some advantages (employment and skill-wise) of getting SCYM(ASCP)-certified, as I haven't personally seen many job posting requiring this certification.

Also, what's the overall advantage of getting other ASCP Specialist certifications (i.e. SCT(ASCP) or SH(ASCP)) over Technologist ones?

Thanks!

Is getting the Newborn Specialist Certification worth it?

If so what company do you recommend? One thing that’s a little confusing is do you only work for the family for a few months? Any advice is appreciated. If there’s another certificate you’d recommend please let me know!

Should I get a newborn care specialist certification?

I have been a nanny for 10 years. Spent the last 5 working mainly with newborn, infants and toddlers. I am also prenursing and will be starting nursing school next year. I'm wondering if I could bridge my two careers and become a baby nurse as a side gig or if it would help me possibly getting into picu. Or even just boost my qualifications in general.

I would love to hear other nannies feedback on how it has affected their career. As well as, hear from parents on how they would view potential nannies with said certifications

If you have done this in the US and would.like to reccomend where you got your certification. I would appreciate it!

TIA!

Currently on part 3 of 5 of the Google IT Support Specialist Certification - Internship availability. Should I finish first?

There are internships openings at a big IT company and I don't know if I should apply, and how should I apply

Their only requirement for new interns is to speak English fluently.

I feel like this internship would slow me down

Should I apply or should I wait until I finish my cert?
