Description

Being an ALT is often called a dead-end job with no future growth possible beyond what one is first given. However, there is a way to ascend by becoming a licensed teacher. Two former ALTs will share the different paths they took to obtaining licensure in Nagano where they currently work in a public and private school. They will cover the types of licenses and what life is like when you are a full teacher.
