No. To teach in the public schools, you need public school certification or licensure, a process that involves an undergraduate degree (B.A.) followed by at least 13 weeks of full-time student teaching under a veteran teacher in the public school setting. However, the SIT TESOL Certificate may qualify you for an aide position in a public school ESOL program.
