I am a native German, with a MA in German literature and a Ph.D. in German Studies from Duke University and 12 years of teaching experience at the college level. I was told that I would need to go back to school and enroll in various pedagogy and methods classes for two years to become qualified as a High School German teacher in a NC public school.
