The type of degree you need to be a certified teacher in special education will depend on your state.  Most states require a four year bachelor's degree in special education, specifically (not just elementary or secondary ed).  \n\nYou will also likely have to pass the PRAXIS exam to become certified in your state.  \n\nThe easiest way to get this information is to contact a local teaching college in your area.  They will be able to give you specific information on what is needed. \n\nAlso, as an aside, due to No Child Left Behind, you may have to be considered "highly qualified" in your subject area.  That is, if you want to teach special education at a secondary level, you may also have to possess a degree or pass a test in all of the subject areas you teach, i.e. reading, math, literature, etc.  This is still up in the air, but if you are serious about getting into special education it's worth looking into.

Don't let the liberals catch you calling some children superior, we're all supposed to be equal in this country.\n\nWell, if your district has the cash it should set up a seperate elementary "academy."  These kids would still interact with "normal" kids but they would have a special teacher who is trained to challenge them.\n\nMoving along to Junior High you need to have the kids in advanced classes for the core but the extra classes can be mixed (gym, art, music, writing, computer, study hall etc...)\n\nOnce kids get to high school it is impractical to keep them segregated in the core fields, you've given them the tools, now they must choose to use them.\n\nWays to challenge kids: Assign a special project in each subject due at the end of the year (or semester or month) where they have to use a topic off a list or come up with a teacher-approved topic.  They research it and give a presentation to the class.\n\nYou can get higher grade textbooks.  When I was in 5th grade we had math 54, in fourth grade which was accelerated learning about 4th and 5th grade math subjects.  It was an independent book and you also had the regular math program to complete.  Then if you finished all the lessons in math 54 they had math 65.  Some of us got it in 5th grade, some in 4th.  Then there was math 76 and finally a pre-algebra book all by the same publisher.  Three of the kids were actually in the pre-algebra book with a few months left in 6th grade.

If you are in high school, by now, your guidance counselor should have already prepared a 4-year high school plan for the direction you wish to take.  In the 8th grade, counselors sit with the students and parents and they decide what courses they want to take throughout high school. These courses are somewhat based upon the direction the student wants to follow after high school. They could be business courses (Bus English, Bus Math, etc.), College Prep (college type courses including math, sciences, languages, history, etc.) or whatever path the student decides. The idea of SAT/ACT means that you want to persue college courses. Check with your counselor. One main reason for this is because each STATE has their own requirements for passing courses.  You might find yourself in the 12th grade and have missed something you need in order to graduate. As far as preparing - if you are in school - study. Stay on top of your assignments and go to the library- check out the Standardized testing section (SAT/ACT, etc) and take some notes. There is plenty of information to help you there. Good luck

I have been an 8th grade science teacher for 10 years.  However, I am actually elementary certified.  My license says that I can teach K-6 and then 7-8 non-departmental.  Therefore, I teach 2 sections of science, 2 sections of literature, and 2 sections of composition.  This way I am not considered departmental.  We get around it by teaching more than one subject area.\n\nWith the "No Child Left Behind," I would not be able to teach beyond 6th with an elementary license if I was just starting out.  My work on curriculum, undergrad science courses, years of experience in that particular subject, etc.... keep me as a "highly qualified teacher" according to my state, Indiana.\n\nEach state has their own particular requirements for their licensing.\n\nI would begin by working with your college/university education department.  You should also contact your state education department (ie. Indiana Department of Education).\n\nGood luck!

My nephew just started his classes in this last year at college. To answer your question, it depends on whether your school offers it in 10th grade. It didn't here. he had to do a lot of math though. All the way through calculas. and maintain a good grade. Good Luck.

It probably depends on what you want to teach (early childhood, adolescent/ young adult- business education, middle grades-another subject area).  You may want to start by spending some time subbing to see if you really do like it and which age group you want to work with.  You will eventually need to become a certified teacher but there are a few approaches you can take: \n1. Start by going to the Ohio department of education website and seeing what their requirements are.  Your options are usually through a college, through a district, or through the state department of ed.  If you apply directly to the state (it usually takes a long time) they will tell you you need to complete certain classes, take certain tests (such as Praxis), and gain field experience in a classroom as a (student) teacher.  \n2.  Look at local colleges with teacher education programs.  If you want to do business ed or another secondary subject area for which you already have most of the undergraduate classes (equivalent to a major in that subject area) you  might be able to do it through a post-bac program or a MAT.  A MAT gets  you a masters in education and certified at the same time and many of them are organized to run in the evenings so you can continue working until you get near to student teaching.  For early childhood education, it would probably take you longer but you would need to look at similar options. \n3.  Look at local schools.  If any need a business education teacher but have no certified person applying they could consider you.  You would get an emergency certificate and have to work toward certification (evening and summers) while you were already employed as as teacher.  \n4.  In areas with real teacher shortages, they sometimes have alternative programs to get people quickly into the schools.  Keep your eyes open (look at school district websites, the department of education website, etc.).  \n5.  Most private schools (and charter schools in some states) are not required to hire certified teachers.  The pay isn't as good but the environment sometimes helps make up  for that.  \n\nGood luck.

Do you mean what math class should you take after highschool?  It depends how far you got in highschool.  You could take College Algebra and Trig, or you may be ready to take Precalculus or even Calculus.  Statistics is also a type of math class which is needed for many majors and can be taken first year college if all prerequisites are met.  \n\nBest of luck.

If you want to go the traditional route you would need a 4 year degree in teaching  and a teacher's certificate to be able to teach in the public school system.\n\nAnother route is to get National Board Certified. It is, I think, somewhat similar to getting the 4 year degree but I think it is more intense, but again I'm not sure.\n\nEither  way you would need to "prove" yourself by taking a national test, PRAXIS II, pass and complete the necessary courses to be  able to teach.

If your overall math grade can sustain the hit of the final (meaning you still passed math), then you should probably be promoted to 8th grade.

I depends where you live. In California, to be an assistant teacher, you need 6-12 e.c.e. units (2-4 early childhood education classes). Some schools hire you as a head teacher with 12 units. You can get this in one semester. The more units you have, the more pay you can get. Consider getting a Child Development or Education degree.\n\nMany programs hire teachers who specialize in a certain teaching philosophy (Montessori, High-Scope, Waldorf). Look into these philosophies and find one you like.

This questions can't be answered in "years"\nYou have to have an advanced degree, in addition to your BA in NY.\nOther states may differ.\nThe normal path is:\nget BA, become teacher\nGet MA in your subject area, keep being teacher\nGet second MA in 'principalism', wait for your chance, then become an administrator (assistaant prin/ dean)\nWait for an opening and become a principal.\nIt can happen in as little as 8 years maybe...but rarely

You probably will need algebra level mathematics, since it requires math grade level 10, maybe some geometry.\n\nSee link:\nhttp://ispt.sdccd.edu/apprent/images/ABC.pdf

You would need a degree in either Math or Science.  That's three years.  Then you'd need to upgrade to teaching certification or a degree in Education.  Also, keep in mind that many areas base salaries on years of experience AND years of post-secondary education.  By the way, does an online Teaching Assistant course include any time spent interning in a real classroom?  If not, I can't imagine it's worth the paper it's printed on.
