In Virginia you just have to take the ESOL Praxis (5362) to get the ESOL certification.

Make sure your Masters program meets all the requirements for ESOL certification in these states. Different states have different coursework and practicing requirements in addition to the state-specific certification tests.

I’m not sure it does, but I do know that MD just requires a TSOL praxis test. Not sure about PA

I’m working for an agency where Art Directors are essentially managers of designers. Art Directors are promoted from Senior Designer, we have no Junior Art Directors.

This hasn’t been my experience, I’m used to Art Directors and Designers having separate career paths. However, I’m trying to keep an open mind. Is this org structure familiar to to anyone else? If so, has it been effective? Thanks in advance!
