the best thing for you to do is to check with the state education office. they will beable to help you out with that. it also depends on what area that you want to teach that they are short in teachers. i know that kansas does it, i went through that process, which took about 3 years.

Most schools in the United States require you to be certified to teach a certain subject as well as a grade level.  In order to obtain this certification, you must first decide which state you would like to teach in and take that state's required test.  For example, some state require a test called the Praxis, while mine requires the "Texes".  Sometimes there may be more than one test required.  Start by contacting a major city's school district/system and ask for their requirements in your situation, and go from there.  Good luck!

Sounds to me you are a great candidate for teaching.  What type of bachelors do you hold?  Have you thought about alternative certification?  For instance, if your BA is in business you can enter into a "fast track" program that provides the opportunity to earn a teaching certificate.  I am not a big fan of the program due to the absence of specialized educational/psychology /childhood development classes.  However, quality teachers are badly needed all over the country and the alternative certification program helps to meet that need.   By the way, if you land a teaching position and at the same time, return to college to earn your Masters, look into funding programs that will help or pay all of your tuition.  \n\nI am a teacher.  I wish you all the best.

I also have a Master's in Education.  I don't want to discourage you, but I will start with the bad news.  Most people in this country believe it is very, very easy to teach and as a result those of us who have a teaching background are pretty unemployable in most fields even though we all know we have great skills.  I went into temping for a while because I found it nearly impossible to find anyone willing to take a chance on me.  I learned from Human Resources professionals who would be honest with me that they would rather take a chance on someone without a degree than a teacher because teachers can't think for themselves and cannot take direction.  This is a bizarre stereotype and I have no idea where it comes from, but it made me HAVE to temp so that employers could see how very capable I was.\n\nSome people DO make the leap from teaching into other professions.  Usually this leap is done over time and is hard to do while unemployed.  There are many fields that love the kinds of skills teachers bring, but first you have to analyze what it is you want to do.\n\nThis is what I finally did: After temping and being offered many full-time jobs that were not right for me, I took some advice from my aunt who is a teacher that she had from her principal: Go back to where you last felt comfortable, and move forward from there.  This was what led me to law school, and I am finally, for the first time, really feeling like I'm in the right place.  I was actually a really good teacher, but I was never completely happy when I taught, and now I finally know I'm in the place that's right for my skills AND interests.  I don't necessarily recommend this for you, but I do recommend going back to what you last felt was "right" and use that to guide you in your move forward.  As it turns out, for me, where it was last completely right was HIGH SCHOOL, where I had considered becoming an attorney, but just didn't for whatever reason.  My teaching experience and degrees were not a waste of time and money (I have to keep reminding myself), but experience.  In my case, I am very different from most of my classmates in law school because I have lived another life and have consciously chosen this path.  I also have found a field in which my teaching background is NOT considered a detriment at all (lawyers, weirdly, "get" teachers...they use the same skills and aren't overly critical of a past in teaching).\n\nSo, don't get discouraged.  If you're not sure what to do, I highly recommend temping.  You may fall into the right job, but even if you don't, you will gain a LOT from being out in the business world.  I happened to get one assignment in particular that was on Sarbanes-Oxley in the insurance field (of all things), and I liked it quite a bit, and considered staying.  I never had such exposure to the business world in my classroom, and temping is a lot like subbing: you get the experience and can try things out until you find something that works.  While you temp, you might be able to find for yourself where you last felt comfortable and move forward.  At the same time, you won't be "just a former teacher" or "just a person with an Education degree," but you'll be someone with experience and a working knowledge of business who happens to also have a B.A. and an M.A.\n\nGood luck.  This was a painful experience for me (teaching is tied up with your entire life...you can't even watch a movie without thinking of how you could possibly use it in your classroom), and it was hard to find my path since it is a "vocation" career tied up with your whole identity.  This will not be an easy switch, but it will be worthwhile.

I do not know about teachers but this is waht I have heard what happens to students. \n\nCertificate of Completion\n\nI received this email this morning and I think that it\nis worth passing on to you guys. \n\n\nThe "Certificate of Completion or Attendance" that is\nbeing offered in lieu of high school diplomas, is a\npart of Bush's "No Child Left Behind". This is how it\nworks: \n\nIt is for students who are unable to pass both the\nLanguage Arts and Math portions of the 10th grade\nISTEP. Students must take the same 10th grade test\nover in the 11th and 12th grades until they pass both\nportions. If they are unable to pass the 10th grade\ntest by the 12th grade then they have two options: \n\n1. Drop out and go to a GED program or, \n2. accept a "Certificate of Completion" - it is NOT a\ndiploma. Once a student accepts it, they cannot ever\nget a diploma or a GED. A certificate of completion\nmeans that a student can never (as long as they live):\n\n\n1. go to the armed services \n2. go to college \n3. go to trade school \n4. go to journeyman's school \n5. go to beauty school \n6. go to culinary arts school \n7. get a federal loan in their lifetime \n\nThis is the portion of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (2001)\nthat Bush slipped in during the 2004 revision of the\nNCLB bill. It has not been publicized. At a high\nschool in Indiana, in 2005, there were 87 seniors in\nthe graduation class. Five got diplomas and 82 got\n"Certificates of Completion". \n\nThis is being referred to as the "Paper Plantation".\nIt is better for students to drop out and get into a\nGED program so they may seek other forms of education,\nlater in life, if they desire to do so. All 50 states\nhave "Certificates of Completion or Attendance". \n\nPlease pass this information along to EVERYONE you\nknow who has school age children. Clergy, please\npreach it from the pulpits. Our people MUST know this\ninformation.\n \nThank you & stay blessed. "No one can make you feel\ninferior unless you allow them."

With a BA degree there are many places that will allow you to work in the schools while you are earning your Masters in teaching.  This is especially applicable in schools and districts where there is a teacher shortage.\n\nThe following is a link to a document regarding having Stafford loans forgiven, but it might give you some ideas about where you could look for districts that offer non-traditional paths towards licensing.\n\nhttp://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/pol/tsa.pdf

That is the one reason that year round school would not work. Unless the schools are air conditioned, very little teaching and learning will occur during the summer. Rooms at100 degrees are dangerous to the health of both teachers and students. Ridiculous!!\n\nI hope you agree.

for high school it depends on the state generally you need to have a BA in a subject and Grad school courses in education, but there is a cirtification test he can take for the state he wishes to teach in and if he passes that then generally the school department works out a way for you to take any additional education courses at night or over the summer - there is just suh a demand for teachers. Or try Teach For America, they take BA grads and have you teach for I think 2 years in urban or at risk schools and then you get cirtified! Its a great program and free.\n\nFor college or university professor he needs to stay in school and get a Graduate degree or PhD.

It depends on the school.  There is one in my area that hires a driver ed. teacher.  Students pay extra for the course, and it meets after school or in the evening.  They get a grade at the end and 1/2 credit towards graduation.\nIf your school doesn't have driver ed.  I'm sure that there may be driving schools in your area.  One community college in my area offers driver ed. also.

As a math teacher, you would have much easier time finding a job in a middle school or high school.  Private schools are not bound by the state, so they may not require certification, although most have their own criteria that you must meet.  In a public school, a bachelor's degree in mathematics or a closely related field is the minimum requirement, along with some kind of teaching certification.  If you are not certified right now, you can go back to school and enroll in an education program at a college or university or explore some alternate certification processes.  The Alternate Route to Certification (ARC) program is a popular way to go.  For math, you also have the potential to get emergency certification if math is a critical shortage subject in your area (it is in most states).  This will allow to you start teaching without certification and the school may even assist you in gaining that certification.

In FL, we have 2 paths for Elementary Education one is Elementary Education (K-5) the other is PreK Primary which is prek -3.  I think teaching is a "good" profession as it is high demand, you can move and easily find a job, there are a lot of opportunities for continuing growth, the kids are pretty cool and you get a lot of time off.  Now the bad, the salary is kind of crap, parents can be a pain in the butt,  no child left behind (not even the little kid in the back who sleeps everyday and is borderline abused and doesn't eat at home and has to stay up cleaning the house) ie you are responsible for the education of every kid in your room regardless of their home life (and some are pretty terrible).  I love teaching!  But it is NOT an easy job!!!  But can be very rewarding.

You can begin teaching after obtaining your undergraduate degree but will have to take classes toward your master's degree in order to keep your certificate current.

The thing is about online and other distance degree programs is that if they are accredited (there is a board for state as well as federal accredidation) then you can use the degree(s) you get to move up in a job, apply for a job that requires a certain degree, etc. What you cannot do is teach with it. That's a whole other ball of yarn. To teach at a University or college in the U.S. you need to have graduated from a degree program at a recognized University or college. Now it gets confusing with teaching credentials for K-12 teaching. You need to check with your state on the requirements, but most want a four year degree from a recognized AND accredited University or college and added to that they have othr requirments. Here in California it's called a 5th year, and then you have to take two tests BEFORE you can go into the classroom.\n\nSo to answer your question of should you take the class...sure, but it won't serve any purpose if you want to teach. Credits also won't be applicable to colleges or Universities. BUT, if you want to better yourself, or enhance your work resume, then absolutely!

I am assuming that you mean elementary, middle, or high school since you say "certified teachers." I haven't heard of one.\n\nHowever, University of Phoenix, and other online universities like that will hire adjunct professors for their online classes. UOP requires 5 years experience in your field and a masters degree.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure you have to be a high school graduate to be an instructor but i'm pretty sure that they're chill about it, they just want people who can teach. Call around and find out what specific policies are.
