Shortages of teachers compel districts to hire not-fully credentialed teachers with, usually, the requirement that they are "working on" completing coursework required for a credential.

I was one of these, an Bachelors degree was all I needed to get the job under an emergency credential, then two years of classes while working, then the clear credential.
