You need to find a college that has a student teaching program.  Depending on what your credits are in all you may have to do is take the student teaching and a few education classes.  There are programs that will allow you to teach while you complete these classes.  Go to your state's department of education website and look under licensure or certification which will tell you about such programs and what you need to do to fulfill that state's requirements.  Unfortunately No Child Left Behind has severely limited such programs.

try www.fldoe.com.   on that website, look at the left side and click on educators.  \n\nyou didn't say what you have your bachelors in but in order to get your teaching certificate in Florida, you need to pass the general knowledge test, the professional knowledge exam, and the subject area exam.  The subject area exam is a test you take that proves you know what you are teaching.  for example, there is the K-6 test that any elementary teacher needs to pass.  \n\nbefore any principal will give an interview, you need to have passed the subject area exam.  They will  give you a year to complete the other two exams.\n\nGood luck and try not to become frustrated.  I went through the process and lived to tell about it!  :)

First you will most probably need a bachelor in either german or history [if you do not have one already].  Most colleges and universities [at least here in Canada] have some online/distance options for courses, and if you are a few years apart from completing your degree/diploma, you may want to take some "freshing-up" courses.  \n\nHistory is probably more popular of a choice as all high schools will have that subject- german is not given at all high schools [depending where you are of course], so I would check first with the schools in your area if there is any demand or need for a teacher.  \n\nIn order to teach in most schools, you are required to have an education degree.  The degree program for high school is more subject specific than elementary, which tends to be generalist.  The High School Teacher Education program is usually about a year long and should include a practicum in which you would be assigned a school to teach at and a teacher to mentor you.  Different colleges and universities have different options in their program, so you would probably want to contact ones in your area to see what kind of schedule and options they offer.  Some may have online courses you can take, while others will insist on on-campus learning.\n\nAfter completing and graduating, you should be eligible to apply for the teaching license/certification for your state/province/country.\n\nAfter that, the most logical step would to become a substitute teacher, after which you would be able to apply for a full time position.\n\nOf course I would suggest first that you contact a history or german high school teacher in your area and ask if you can observe/volunteer in their classroom so you can see if teaching is something that you want to do.  Since you are a stay at home mom, you may also try tutoring students if possible to see how you like it.\n\nHope that helps, and good luck!! :)

each Province has its own teaching qualification training/requirements. I'm only familiar with Ontario's program.\n\nFor Ontario go to http://www.oct.ca/\n\nthere is a page for Internationally Educated Teachers on their site:  http://www.oct.ca/IET/?lang=en-CA

Generally, you'll attend a university or college where you'll get a bachelor's degree in Music or Music Education and a teaching certificate.  Just contact the schools you are looking at and talk to the advisors from the Music department and the Education department.

You have several options.  You can major in education in college.  You need at least a BA/BS to teach at a public K-12 school.  You can either major in history or education for your  BA/BS and then do what is usually a one year MAT program, a master's degree in teaching.  People with master's degrees earn more, regardless of what their MA is in.\n\nAnother option is to major in anything (probably history for you) and then do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program (usually called an ACP or EPI program).  This is a condensed series of classes that give you all the classes you need to get certified to teach if you don't have a degree in teaching.  Many school districts also offer their own ACP programs that you can attend (there is a cost) but the hook  is that in order to do the school district program, you have to have been hired as a teacher in the program.  Most people find they can't get hired unless they are credentialed, so it a Catch-22 but some people do manage to get hired.\n\nHope that helps!  Look on your state Department of Education website for more info on the requirements and options.  Good luck.

It varies by state, you were smart to say where you live. Check out\nhttp://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/teach.html\n\nit is the California site for teacher credentials. It is the best place to start!

You will need four years of college. It would be wonderful it you would get your Master's degree too, however. You would position yourself for better jobs in teaching! That is wonderful that you are going to teach!

You cannot take online classes to be a firefighter. First of all, you have to on a fire dept to take the fire class ( in the sate of  Michigan anyway). Try and join a volunteer department. They will pay for you class and books.

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.

I live in Ohio, so odds are this won't be completely the same in Indiana, but this is how I got my certification.  The Ohio Department of Education accepts applications from all qualified applicants for substitute teaching certificates.  The only requirement is that you must have a bachelor's degree in something.  The applications were downloadable from the ODE website.  Perhaps I would check the Indiana Department of Education website and see if they have a similar form.

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.
