Is it possible to become a teacher without a techering degree?

Yes.  Depends on the state.  In my state (NC), they have an accelerated program that can get you teaching after 1 summer of courses.  Of course, you need to continue your education.  \n\nI'd begin by looking at the state education department websites for the states in which you'd be willing to teach.

You will need to take a few "common" education classes and then have to student teach in order to get your certificate. It probably would take a little longer than a calendar year.

Depending on the colleges you are looking at, you can start out teaching with a masters. Several of my profs had masters degrees. A few of them were, at the time, working on their doctorates. However, larger universities require a doctorate.\n\nYou could start at a community college level with a masters.\n\n:)

I believe all states have a minimum Bachelor's Degree as a requirement for Teaching. Some ,like NY ,require a Master's. Check out the Arizona Department of Education's website for specific requirements or just visit any local 4 year college.\n\nhttp://www.ade.state.az.us/certification/\n\nhttp://coe.arizona.edu/pages/\n\nGood luck to you! :)

Florida allows individuals who do not have teaching degrees to teach on a case by case basis. You first need to get a temporary teaching certificate. The information can be found here\nhttp://www.fldoe.org/edcert/level3.asp\nOn this page there are links to find out if you are qualified and what the process may entail.\nYou also may want to contact Broward's Schools Dept of Human Resources to answer any further questions.

In most states you need to complete a Bachelors degree in Education.  This can take anywhere from 3 years to 5 years depending on the program and how many credits you decide to carry.  If you already have a degree, than (in most states) you can apply for an emergency teaching certificate and complete your full certificate in the summer.  Additionally, keep in mind that now because of No Child Left Behind and other Legislation teachers are required to become Highly Qualified and continue taking courses to further their knowledge for the duration of their teaching career.

No.  There are ways to get some college credit for life experience, but not a complete degree (other than an honorary one).

Yes.\n\n- You have to get a degree (and in some instances a masters).\n- You have to be licenced.\n- You have to attend seminars and courses (which surprisingly are referred to as professional development).\n- Paid a salary, not hourly (hence no overtime).\n- Lastly, like any skilled job, the longer you do it the better you become and the more you can see how others would struggle were they to fill your shoes for a day.\n\nWhat does it matter what others think - I'm ignorant at times too. Regardless of how worldly our experiences they are still finite, so we have altered perspectives. Also, teaching has the distintion of requiring personal character (or what others state as being a calling) - for you can be smart/knowledgeable and still be a poor teacher. So it is a profession that involves a basis of knowledge being built on those receptive to assisting, caring and taking an interest in others.

Do you want to teach high school?\n\nDo you have a degree in education?\n\nIf you have a degree in education you need to determing which state in the US you want to teach in. You of course would need a work permit because you are from another country and a visa, etc.\n\nBut as far as teaching each state has different requirements. You would need to contact the state that you have interest in (board of education) and see which tests, etc. you need to take in order to get a license in that state.\n\nIf you want to teach at the university it is much simpler. You need at least a masters degree but it does not have to be in education. Simply contact a university that is hiring in your field and inquire. To teach at this level you would just need to get the work permits, etc. and would need to get a license for teaching.

that's harder and harder to do these days.  i would start off at a daycare that doesn't require a degree, they still exist.  then go from there, some places don't necessarily require a degree if you have the experience.

I don't know what to tell you about using that degree outside of education, but the degree doesn't mean you will have to be in the classroom.  You could be a curriculum facilitator, lead teacher (who doesn't necessarily teach full time), testing coordinator, activities, coordinator, instruction consultant, textbook consultant, or work in various capacities within the state's department of public instruction.

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!

Not at all. You just need some experience, some funding, and a little "know how". Many people who start successful businesses have no post-secondary education.

It is great to hear a young person enthusiastic about becoming a teacher!!!  Good for you!  You are already well on the way!!\n\nDon't worry too much about which courses you take in high school as long as they are college/university prep courses.  Generally, any school that offers a degree in education will be fine, but check out the regulations in the area you want to teach.   Teacher certification differs from state to state.   \n\nYou already have two of the most important requirements for becoming a good teacher - you are enthusiastic and positive and you like children.  The things you will learn in your teacher training courses are also very important as they will give you the confidence that you not only want to teach, but also know something about how children learn, about learning styles, about teaching students with learning disabilities, etc.  Don't underestimate the value and importance of your formal teacher training.  It will be part of your strength as a teacher.\n\nTake care and follow your dreams.

There are usually certain requirements that need to be met. You can find out about some of them from your state department of education or board of regents for colleges. You can't simply start your own college and give yourself degrees without paying tuition, though. Ask them about something called accreditation.
