Don't let any negative remarks dissuade you from being a teacher.(Scotty the comic? like a comic is a real career!) I'm starting classes this summer for early child education. People keep telling me that teachers don't make that much. Well, there are a lot of careers out there where you don't make that much. I will be making more being a teacher than I am as a medical receptionist. Sure you might have to put up with kids misbehaving. I would rather do that, than put up with rude adults who should know better.\nBut to get back on track and answer your question :) Look up local colleges. Many colleges offer this degree, whether its a community college or state college. Good Luck!

I could be wrong, but if you are already teaching in a university, you must already have a Master's Degree, right? If so, I don't know that you would have to study again to teach children in preschool. You probably just need to show an interest and aptitude for working with young children, maybe my volunteering at an after-school program or something.\n\nYour best bet is to speak with a teacher or principal who works with/hires preschool teachers to find out what they require.\n\nGood luck!

You need a degree in education with a minor in art. If you want to specialize. It can be a bachelors in most states. But you should contact a local college or university and find out the requirments in your state.

I work for Edge Hill University - one of the UKs largest teacher training places. There are several paths open to become a teacher -\n\none is to become a full time undergraduate student, then complete a PGCE. I wouldn't advise this course for you though, given your circumstances - this would take 4 years.\n\na better option is to enter a full time undergraduate teaching degree - this will take 3 years. You will be entitled to loans as a student, and possibley subsidy grants from your place of learning to put towards child care etc. This all depends on your individual financial circumstances - but I do know of other people in a similar postion to you who have done this.\n\nanother option is to "earn as you learn" - get a job at a school and learn whilst working. These jobs are a lot more competitive though, and depend on the school agreeing to employ you without qualifications.\n\nyet another path is to do a part time teacher training degree - then you can continue working and caring for your child etc whilst gaining your qualification.\n\nIts worth getting in contact with one of our admissions tutors over this - you can find their details on the page below after a bit of searching.

No accredited teaching school gives a bachelors degree in two years.  It is a four year program.  You study your core subjects such as English, Math, Science and Social Science.  In addition you take Education Methods Courses, Child Psychology, Tests and Measurement courses, Technology in the Classroom Courses and you do observations much as you have outlined.  Your final semester you teach full time in a school under the supervision of your college professors and an supervising teacher at the school.  You assume all the regular teachers duties by the end of the semester.

If you want to teach at a community college you need a masters degree.  If you wanna teach at a university you need a Phd.

Most day care centers only require a high school diploma.  The really good ones require bachelor's degrees.  It just depends on the day care center and the specific job you're applying for.  Even if you get a bachelor's, if you've never worked with kids - they won't hire you.\n\nThe online and correspondence certificates are pretty well worthless.  Either take junior college courses or just apply.

First off you don't need a Ba degree to teach Preschool. Not even in the headstart programs. You need to just go to your local community college and start their child devlopment program and hopefully continue on to get your AA or AS degree. I can tell you that in some places the child devlopment courses are no transferable to a 4 years college. Go and meet with a counselor first. If you have any plans of teaching in the Public School system as a Teacher I suggest that you take more course that are transferable. It is nice starting at a community college until you figure out what you truly want to do. You never know you may get in the Preschool and absolutely love it or decide you want to teach older kids or even younger. Good luck. Talk to a College counselor and they can point you in the right direction. Community college would be a good start and move on from there.

I would definately go with the BA in Math.  Schools right now need actual math teachers, not just teachers that know math.  Many places offer a 1-year post BA degree program in Teaching, basically a fast-track teaching masters (not quite the same as a masters in education).

If you want to teach anywhere in the U.S. with just a plain bachelor's degree all by itself, you can't. Every municipality requires that you have some college credits in education, preferably education courses with emphasis in your major area of study.

my husband has a teaching degree but no certificate in another subject, but wanted to switch to special ed. in texas, there is something called emergency certification. it involves taking certain courses, working as a special ed teacher with a mentor. contact the education services center for your area, if there is something like that available, they will tell you how to get started.

To teach Phys. Ed. you need a 4 year bachelor's degree, usually in the field of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Phys. Ed. teachers teach different things depending on the state and grade level. At the lower level (elementary) you will see a lot of fundamental motor skill practice such as throwing, kicking, locomotor movements, etc. As students get older they start to get more into the team sports usually. Also, PE teachers usually relate health and fitness related benefits to their class.

why dont you look at becoming a history teacher?  start with an elementry school, there aren't many, but i've heard of places that will start you out at an elementry school with just a high school degree.  if you have a history degree i'm sure you can get your foot in the door no problem somewhere.

In the United States you will need a college degree (usually in elementary education and in many states a Masters Degree (usually within 5 Years of your Bachelor's Degree.) Good luck.

If you want to be a teacher you have to do a teaching course, either that or do the child care course then a PG Dip to allow you to teach.  If you are not sure what course is right for you, you should speak to the admissions dept at the college who can tell you more about the course entry requirements and couse contents, also ask if you can speak to a careers advisor who will be able to help.  If you got A & B grades for your highers/A levels then you could go to university and do your course there.  The careers advisor at the college would be a good starting point though. Good luck.

in the United States it varies by state.  At least a bachelor's degree in either education or the language you want to teach, appropriate teaching courses including internships and student teaching.  Some universities may require a stay in the target language country or an OPI (oral proficiency interview) to determine your level of competance in the language.  Some states require that you get your bachelor's in your language and then add a year for teacher preparation.  It varies widely by state.  Most teachers have a Master's degree, either in their subject area or in education, and most states require that you continue to take courses throughout your teaching career in order to remain fresh and up-to-date.  I would contact universities in the State you want to teach (their School of Education) as well as the website of the State Department of Public Instruction for the states in which you want to teach.

It depends on what you would like to do. Do you plan on working in a school when you get your four year degree? It depends on what state you live in, there is different criteria from state to state You can go to your local board of education office and they should be able to direct you on what to do. I would recommend that you go to a four year and complete a four year degree but in the meantime, you can do something with that degree. You may not get paid as much, but substitute teaching may be an option.
