Go to college to be a teacher. Teach computers. Teachers are badly needed. And you will have a 20 year career at least.

Well, it varies state by state, as they all have different rules for teaching certifications.  I did not study education, but studied chemistry.  I decided I would like to teach.  Florida had and still has a huge teacher shortage.  In Orlando they were hiring people like crazy to be teachers and could not fill the classrooms.  All you had to have was a 4 year degree in anything and you could get a 3 year temporary teaching certificate.  Then, the school district paid for the training for me to get fully certified.  This was Orlange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida, but I know there were a lot of school districts that were this way.

You should definitely get a Masters degree in English, and ideally a doctorate.  Most universities require their professors to have published work in academic journals, but sometimes they will accept unpublished teachers with exceptional work experience that could help the students.  Most universities also expect their professors to continue to research and publish while they teach.

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.

Well the criteria for pre-school education is to go to school that has an chile development program. The highest form of education you need to be a preschool teacher is to get your CDA (Child Development Associate) certification. This certification doesn't take very long to achieve and most of thetime the classes are in the evening depending on the institution you choose to go to. But once you have you CDA, there are only a few more classes until you can obtain you Associates Degree in child development.

Actually you must have at least a master's degree and be working in the industry you are going to teach.  Or at least be able to reasonably associate it to your industry.

Go to the department of education for your state and look up the requirements.  With a master's, you can teach at a community college.  \n\nIf you want to teach K-12 you need a teaching credential.  If you didn't major in education and want to teach, you can do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program.  These are acclerated programs for working adults, they give you all the coursework you need to become certified.  You can also do that kind of program through your school district IF you are hired for a teaching job.  You can't do it through your district unless you are hired.  \n\nIt's a confusing process, isn't it?  Start with your DOE website, though.  Good luck!

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.

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 state you want to teach in.  all of their criteria are different.  look for the website of the state department of education for whatever state you want.  they will list their requirements.  at the minimum you will have to take some tests and then receive an emergency credential.  (you will have to then fufill more requirements to get a clear credential).  at the most you will have to start all over and get the appropriate credential.  it depends how desperate the state is.  i teach in southern california, and believe me, they're desperate down here.

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!

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.

From kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, schooling to become a teacher is somewhat the same.  Some people think that there is a difference in income from elementary to high school but there isn't.  The difference comes in the amount of experience you have and how much education.  This is what I mean:\nYou will need a BA to teach and a teaching credential.  Some schools are desperate for teachers so they hire them with just a BA but their credential is pending.  You will also need to pass some assessments ranging from a subject competency exam (all subjects if elementary, one subject if high school) basic proficiency exam (reading, writing and math) and depending on the state a reading exam to see if you know how to teach reading (particularly if you want to teach elementary.  In order to pass those some universities already include classes that cover those exams in their curriculum if not you may have to take extra courses to be prepared.  \nIf you want to get a masters or take more classes in addition to your credential than that's when you can get paid more money.  You don't need to take more classes but it will help.  \nRemember a first year 1st grade teacher makes the same as a first year English high school teacher if they have the same education.  If one has a masters then that's the person that makes more.
