I have changed careers to get I to teaching after years of govt work. I live in California though they wa t me to take 4 classes at 30K to earn my credentials. I already hold 2 masters degrees and have passed all CSET test with above average scores. Are there better states to teach in where the teacher is allowed to educate, not the administrators?

Texas is for sure one of the more permissible states that would give you more freedom to teach without having to get that many more credentials. I think any red state will be more friendly to you though

I dont think so unfortunately administrators always control what best to their students not the teacher unless you share their philosophy

In Texas, you could teach at a Career & Tech school within the school district. You can also go through an alternative certification program at a fraction of the cost to get certified to teach.

I'm not sure what you are planning to teach, but some districts will allow you to apply for an emergency credential so that you can work while you finish your last few classes.

Where do they want you to take these classes? Four classes is only a quarter/semester worth of classes. A year at a UC is under 14 thousand. A year at Cal state is under 8 thousand.

Colorado has an alternative licensure program. This can be done while you are teaching. You have to have accepted a position to qualify for the program.

I got credentialed through Azusa Pacific U. Best wishes!
