I’m assuming you mean the subject matter competence tests.

I do think the answer is no. States contract out to the big testing companies and they take standardization seriously. They want to make sure that you are who you say you are. I had to keep my driver’s license on the desk as I took the test.

If you have a degree, you will need to get certified. There are several ways to do that, but probably your best choice is through an alternative certification program that specializes in certifying people in your situation. This will also prep you for the required tests you will have to take. As far as Carrollton ISD, it won’t be as easy to land a job their unless you are Bilingual certified or special ed. Not to say that you can’t, but the demand for jobs exceeds their need. Dallas on the other hand is always hiring, and you may just have to pay your dues their if Carrollton doesn’t work out for you.

Not that I’m aware of. It’s a major issue of cheating since the results of your state teachers test is public record, this could great jeopardize the integrity of the program.
