    Default Teaching Credentials with an Assault Misdemeanor Charge

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona,
    I want to know if I will be able to teach children, K-12, or even community college or college and or work with children and or elderly? Can I get a fingerprint clearance card ever? Is there a number of years before I will be able to do this or not at all?
    In 1998, I had an incident with a police officer who pulled me over for speeding; she filed an assault charge on me for touching her hand as she proceeded to reach into my car allegedly, to turn off my ignition, which was already off. I pleaded guilty to a lesser charge because in the state of AZ it would have been a felony charge. I now have a misdemeanor charge on record.
    I am in the process of applying to getting my master’s in teaching secondary or elementary. I am wondering if I should continue with the process. I do not know if I can teach or not and I do not want to pay the money to ascertain my master if I cannot use it for this purpose. In addition, what type of jobs can I do that require a fingerprint clearance with a misdemeanor? My job experience background has been in finance and working with young adults all my life?

    Please help, I am confused since I have been out of the work force for sometime.

    Signed,
    Starting over

    Default Re: Teaching Credentials with an Assault Misdemeanor Charge

    Generally speaking, your school should have an academic advisor who can discuss this type of issue with you. Given that licensing criteria vary by state, and hiring standards can vary by state, school district and even by school, it's not something easily answered in the abstract.
