If you are eligible under condition #2 (you have a bachelor鈥檚 degree and your GPA is between 2.5 to 2.9 on a 4.0 scale, AND you have worked in a related field or education for at least five years) submit your transcripts to 黑料社 and a letter of reference from your employer providing the following details (your role, number of years you were in that role, how it is relevant to teaching).
