Who can provide the best references?
You want two kinds of references – one from someone who can speak to your ability as a student, especially if you want to teach a certain subject (then your reference should be from a teacher in that subject area). Faculty references can be from a university or high school faculty. If you are going to teach in a subject area, it is best to have a university faculty. If you have just transferred, or have been out of school for many years (or both) you may want to use a high school teacher – or wait until you get to know another faculty person.
