If you want to work as a teacher or a sub in any CA school, you have to take the CBEST.\n\nIf you have a teaching credential in another state, you need to check and see if CA has a reciprocal program.\n\nHere's the credentialing site:\n\nhttp://www.ctc.ca.gov/

You will have to go through their application process, but if you are certified in one state, many states have lateral transfer tests that catch you up on the specific laws of that state. Sort of a mini- academy. Some agencies may require you to go through the entire academy again. \n\nContact the agency you wish to join and they will let you know the requirements.

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.

One potential thought on this would be to find the best school for this in the state in which you want to teach in.  Getting your degree, training and ceryification fast-tracks you through a lot of red tape when it comes to teaching, that an out-of-state trained teacher will have to deal with.

this all depends on the state you live in... typically it at least requires a bachelors degree (some states, such as Ohio are changing to masters) and once you have your degree some schools will provide you with the required tests and what not themselves, and sometimes you will need to find a testing center to take a licensing exam....

To teach in Elementary School (multiple subject, self-contained classrooms) you must have at least a BA/BS in any subject, with a credential. To teach a single subject (High School, etc.) you need a BA or BS in that subject and a credential. It would be best if you contact the State of California through http://www.ctc.ca.gov/default.html . That is the State Credentialing Office. They have all the answers. You do not need a Masters to teach in California in K-12 education, and you usually only get $1000 extra per year for it. Good Luck.

well, you have to be certified in the state you want to teach in. to do that, just go to any state depatment of education website. if you are ceritified in another country, you may be able to get an alternate certification with little problem.

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!

Hi,\n\nEvery state will have different education and test requirements.  You will need to look online for each state's Dept. of Real Estate.  That will tell you what you will need to do.\n\nI used the Anthony Schools online real estate education courses.  You can check to see if they have one in your state.  Otherwise, some real estate agancies will allow you to take classes through their firm and then reimburse your fees after your first transaction.  You will need to call around to find out.\n\nMost states will have education requirements to include along with your state exam.  However, you may be able to use some of your college courses as substitutes (ie.  I had a business degree and was able to transfer some).  Check with them.\n\nYes, you can do real estate part time, depending on the firm.\n\nIf you still want to know some pros and cons about the real estate industry, read this real life job experience from a Realtor in CA:\n\nhttp://www.jobpodge.com/jobTestimonial.php?jobIndex=44&_real_estate_agent\n\nGood luck!

I'd suggest you talk with your school counselor, who is likely in charge of administering standardized tests in your school.  The counselor can tell you which test(s) are required by the state and which others are common in schools in your state.\n\nThe other likely source would be the website of the state department of education.

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.

I don't know if you want to relocate,but Northern Cal and Southern Cal are hurtin' for certain for students.  Try Shasta college on the web.

You can also check within the region or district to which you are applying.  If that particular state's districts need teachers, the possibilities are endless for landing a position and meeting the certification requirements within a certain limits.  Good Luck!

be more specific:  What level tests are you looking for?  I would say start with your teachers-- they will guide you to practice tests if that is what you need.  If it is not, then I think they will know what you do need and will be able to provide you with ideas on how to prepare for your upcoming examinations.

Hi Christina.  I am also looking at teaching jobs in other states.  Once you have researched the school district via website, learn all the application process from the human resources dept. and apply.  If you've applied online, you can still fax or send them a cover letter and resume.  Check out that state's Dept. of Education or state board of education for certification process.  If you are not certain you will move to that state, you should wait to file the certification papers; but if you have solid certification in your home state, you usually can be certified elsewhere and get a 1 yr. certificate until you take the required tests.  The only bummer now is that some schools won't even consider you because you don't have their state certification right now and it will take 3 or more months to get it.  If there are many available candidates, you have to try to sell yourself above the others.  Will you be able to visit that state?  You could set up a few dates about 2 weeks in the future and write or call the schools to let them know you will be available to interview on those dates.\nAlso be sure to research the state "mastery" or no child left behind assessment that state uses to show you know the objectives and can teach to prepare kids for those tests.\nGood luck!\nMJ
