Teaching Careers in the US?

Master's degrees generally only allow you to teach at the community college level, although that's a great place to start (while you obtain your Phd).\n\nMost colleges require a Phd, as well as a commitment to continue publishing works related to your field.  The requirements are generally more school specific, rather than state specific, since there are so many private institutions.\n\nGood luck.

Well, if you like teaching but want to get away from the kids or the insane educrat bureacracy, many corporations have internal trainers so you could look for something along those lines.\n\nOf course, if you're just sick of teaching altogether, well then I guess it depends on what your other skills and interests are (which I don't know, so I won't presume to suggest any particular career).\n\nGood luck in your job change!

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!

There is an office at the state board of education that deals with teacher certifications.  You can find them easily by searching on the Internet - like "Florida department of education" in the search window, or something like that.   \n\nIf your degree is in teaching you should have no problem... there will be numerous hoops to jump thru, but none will be too hard (fingerprints, transcripts, experience...)  it may seem complicated, but just get the check in the box and you'll be good. \n\nIt is better to deal with the state office vice the county office... the state guys know the rules and will give you the straight skinny the first time.  At the county, who knows...\n\nGood luck and welcome to the profession. \n\nCheers!

First of all, this belongs in "education - other" or "teaching," not "special education" (unless you specialize in working with students with disabilities?). \n\nYou have to "shop around" to find districts who may be interested in your services. It would help if you also have other certifications (e.g. sociology, history, etc.). Subscribe to or find copies of US education journals, such as "Education Week" (see link below). Many have excellent job fair and contacts listings. Most may not necessarily post a specific need for a Chinese Language Teacher, but you can submit your resume to as many as possible and see who shows interest.\n\nAlso, while you are certified in China, you will need to go through coursework and certification in the United States to teach in public schools. You may want to first focus on the private school sector, and colleges.\n\nGood luck!

My wife is a teacher at a K-6 school in the USA.  I think that would be a wonderful idea.

What are your qualifications?\n\nMost areas require an undergraduate degree in a general subject followed by a Bachelor of Education degree.  In less desireable markets they will take just the undergrad plus teaching certification, but your pay will be lower.\n\nI don't know that the demand is high enough to be hiring from abroad, but most teachers apply directly to the school board in the area they're interested in working.  The site below is VERY popular for jobs, but it's not always the most up-to-date.  You'd always be better off looking at school board websites.

i have friends who went to korea and japan to teach english. THey both told me you have to have a bachelor degree in the U.S and you will get room and board, and salary. salary is approx 30-40k but remember that your apt/ or room is already taken care of (and also you dont have a car). i'm not sure about japan but i was told that if you go to korea - get employed by public school then find some parents who wants private tutoring - that's where the big bux are.

First you should research and decide which state you would like to teach in.  Once you have decided that next chose the county you like the most.  Then google or should I say Yahoo the city's name and school disctricts.  The local school discricts should come up and you pick which on you like.  Next, click on Human resources on the disctrict page.  This will usually lead you to phone numbers of who to call with questions and available employment and qualifications.  In most of the states you are required to have a bachelors or even masters in sped.  I would just use the internet to browse different states and requirements.  \nbest of luck

You need a degree and have a good, stable outlook, be very tolerant, a great listener, and a genuin love of teaching...the pay stinks and sometimes the kids are intolerable!\n\nIt is a wonderful career if you have the right stuff. Also, consider teaching Ed. Mentally Hadicapped Students...they are the best!!\n\n\nGood luck!!!

I have two suggestions:\n\n1.  Contact your local school system and ask what qualifications they require.  In my county, we hire lateral entry teachers, in other words, folks who have a college degree and want to change occupations.\n\n2.  Contact the nearest university, and speak to an admissions counselor.  They'll have the most up-to-date information on the courses you'll need to take, and what your prospects are of getting hired.\n\nGood luck!

yes. If you have a 4 year degree you can take what's called the "fast track" program which is a two year program where they teach you about teaching and then you need to be certified.  If I get certified in New York, I believe I still need to be certified in New Jersey, but I don't believe you need a masters degree to teach in NJ like you do in NY.

Hmm... check out Teach for America.  I think that you have to get the BA first, but it pays for your teaching certificate if you qualify for the program.  Otherwise, I hear that some states give you money after the BA (pay your student loans etc).  I believe Texas is one of these states.  Good luck!

The National Park Service hires docents, and other teachers at parks. You might want to look into Humboldt State U in California for some direction.\n\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/
