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.

for high school it depends on the state generally you need to have a BA in a subject and Grad school courses in education, but there is a cirtification test he can take for the state he wishes to teach in and if he passes that then generally the school department works out a way for you to take any additional education courses at night or over the summer - there is just suh a demand for teachers. Or try Teach For America, they take BA grads and have you teach for I think 2 years in urban or at risk schools and then you get cirtified! Its a great program and free.\n\nFor college or university professor he needs to stay in school and get a Graduate degree or PhD.

I don't think the teacher would mark it wrong given the circumstances of you being from the UK and just making the move to the USA.

College or High School.\n\nAssuming you mean H.S., you need a B.S. in mathematics or mathematics education or a similar major (e.g. Engineering) and certification from the state that you want to teach in. Certification is achieved with college credit in education courses and a certain number of hours of observation/student teaching. As a geometry teacher, though, you'd likely also teach algebra, trigonometry, precalculus and perhaps even calculus depending on the need of your department.

the best thing for you to do is to check with the state education office. they will beable to help you out with that. it also depends on what area that you want to teach that they are short in teachers. i know that kansas does it, i went through that process, which took about 3 years.

There's a good chance that whatever certifications you hold in Florida will transfer to Chicago.  check the appropriate agency that certify preK in Chicago.  You could start with the Illinois department of Ed. \n\n All states give you the run around.  I recommend going directly to the department of Ed Certification office.  After over a year of corresponding with one state I finally just stopped by to find out that all I needed was a one simple document.  When I had called no one seemed to be able to give me that info.

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!

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.

some states have reciprocal agreements with one another--for example if you have a teaching license in one state it will be honored in another. if CA and AZ do not have that reciprocity, then you will need to fulfill the teaching requirements (tests, classes, etc.) for CA. however, if you are simply in school in CA and do not have certification for AZ yet, then you just need to follow the certification requirements for CA and not worry about AZ.

Each state deparment of education has a website.  Each state has different requirements for teachers and for which subjects there is a need for teachers.  Generally needed is a bachelor's degree with a prescribed number of education courses, student teaching experience, a teacher's license from that state (each state is different and they generally don't recepricate).  An exam is usually required to get a teaching license.  Contact the state department of education for any state that interests you and see if there is a need for ESL (also known as TEFL, ENL, teacher of ELL (English language learners) etc.\nI know that ESL teachers have several listservs--you might google ESL and see if you can find one.  I'm sure they can answer your question better than I can.  There is not much of a need for teachers of English to speakers of English--in fact, there is more of a glut on the market.

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!

Many states have signed the "Interstate Contract" which was created "in order to make it easier and more efficient for licensed educators from one state to become credentialed to work in another state where they move and establish residence. Forty-four states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico have currently signed the Interstate Contract for teacher certification."\n\nCheck out this page for more info and then check out the links on the left of that page for a whole lot more info:\nhttp://www.teach-now.org/frmReciprocityAndAcceptance.asp
