You have to do a 6 week tranfer course (especially so you can be up on teaching American Lit). Your best bet would to apply at private schools (like public schools in the UK) as they are usually more flexible in hiring from abroad. In the NYC school system they have an union so it makes getting a job a tad more difficult. Send out your CV along with any letters of support. Great thing is if they are interested they will cover all your paperwork. And they will usually interview over the phone or get you interviewed by a sister/brother school in the UK.

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!

You need to get in touch with the Sate Board of Education for the state that she wants to teach in .  It will vary by each state...It's not a nationl thing.

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!

Try applying for a visa or a Green card at an American embassy or consulate. Then you can apply for citizenship, in which you will have to pass a test.

Here is a website that should help you with the questions you may have- http://www.gapsc.com/ .From what I understand you can be hired as a teacher  (not for sure about the visa thing though) but you will not get paid as much and you have so long to complete your teaching certification. But once you complete it then you will have a T-4 Certificate and eligible to work and get paid as all teachers do. Good Luck!

The education system in England is completely different to the U.S so no you would not graduate but you would take the British version (G.C.S.E exams and/or A Levels)

If you live in England you need to write to your local LEA (local education authority). I'm not sure if Tony will personally help you on this one!

Sure- a friend of mine taught at the American School in GDL for seven years and loved it!   Check the internet for "American School"...I'm sure it must be listed.

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.

It sounds like you are not in the US.  Hard to say when we don't know what country you are in.  There are different requirememts region to region.

It really depends on the school you go to.  You will need to have a BA, preferably geared towards the area you want to teach.  For example, I am an elementary school teacher so my major is Liberal Studies (since I teach all subjects) and my minor in Education.  If you want to teach history or math than your major should be in those areas.  To get a teaching credential you will need to reapply (kinda like grad school).  You will be taking courses to teach you curriculum and instruction and student teaching or internship at the same time. It usually takes about a year.  If you want to take extra classes to have a CLAD (to be able to teach English Language Learners) you will have to see if you can take those before completing your BA.  I think they may be changing those requirements though and it may not be even called a CLAD anymore.  I got my crendential 4 years ago so I know things have changed now.  There are technology course you must take while doing your credential.  There are also california teaching standards that you must prove you have met but I do not have a lot of information on that.  Hope this helps!

First of all, hopefully your question is the way it is because you had to fit it into the box.... but anyway.  First of all, the best thing you could do is move to a part of the country that really needs teachers.  Some of the best places to go right now are Las Vegas (one of the largest growing family communities in the country right now), and in the southern east coast states, ie. Virginia, Florida, etc.  especially is you are fairly good with Spanish and could be an ESL teacher along with English.  \n\nSecond, the best way to get something in your local area is to blanket your area with applications.  And don't be afraid to drive up to a half hour away.  If you aren't willing to drive that far everyday, then change your attitude now, you'll probably need to.  I take a day on the weekend and just go to every school in about a 45 minute radius of the town I live in.  \n\nLastly, if you can handle it, substitute for a year or so.  Some schools will make you jump through a million hoops just to sub, but some will simply ask if you have a teaching certificate and hand you the forms to fill out.  Working in a school district for a year, as every kind of teacher you can (from an actual English teacher to a gym teacher in an Elementary school) will force the people working there to get to know you.  By the end of the year you could probably even ask to use someone in the English department as a reference when applying for a job in the district  (possibly even the person who's retiring).

You could apply for positions as a language assistant through the British Coucil (www.britishcouncil.org) at English schools.  They run well established teaching assistanship programmes all over the world as well as in the UK.  I took part in a similar exchange as an English teaching assistant in Germany without any teaching qualifications.  Good luck!
