If you're trying to get a job as a teacher, having an alternate route education, I believe, fails to make a good impression on a school looking for teachers. Yet that's only my opinion.

They'll probably have you take a few core classes that you need first but sure. I know if you want to go for an education degree you can do it regardless of your undergrad degree. They just put you through a different program than people who do have their undergrad in education...but both end up with a masters in education.

I am not in your area, unfortunately.  However, you could contact a college or university closest to you and ask to speak with someone in the Education department.  Someone may be able to spread the word to Education majors-which would be prefered seeing as they will be dealing with those sort of things, and they are being trained how to do it.

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.

that's harder and harder to do these days.  i would start off at a daycare that doesn't require a degree, they still exist.  then go from there, some places don't necessarily require a degree if you have the experience.

Try Western Governors University.  Non-profit, and regionally accredited...plus great references and excellent tuition rates versus most other distance ed programs.

a bachelor degree is preferable.\nPlus you need to get certified by taking the Praxis test in a given category (It's usually pretty pricey so that you take it seriously and try not to fail it. NOONE want's to fork over that money moer than once!)\n\nDo a search on "Praxis" \nYou'll probably have to take the Praxis II

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

The person who said Get a degree, Apply is right and wrong.\n\nYou can do *some* teaching, such as subbing or assisting a certified teacher, just with a degree.\n\nTo be a full teacher, however, with your own classroom, you have to be certified or currently enrolled in a state-approved alternative certification plan.\n\nYour best option is to contact a nearby state or private university, and ask to speak to their college of education about becoming certified. If you don't yet have a degree, but are in college, you can get certification along with your degree. No matter what, you have to have a degree to be  anything more than substitute or an assistant.

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!

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!

The general graduation requirements, and a major in secondary education.  You can usually choose history by itself, but the end result, you will be certified in social studies, so you will take other social science classes.  For where I went to school, I was only 3 credits shy of getting a degree in history by itself.  If you want, you could do that and then go back to get a degree in teaching. Might help in the long run if you plan on getting a graduate degree.  Lots and lots of history classes to be a teacher.  Good luck.

There really is no correspondence courses to get a degree but most Universities offer on-line degrees.\n\nTry the University of Phoenix they offer on line courses for Bachelors in Education.\n\nIf you have no credits to transfer it will take you three years to get your degree some Universities and Colleges you can get a Bachelors Degree in 18 months.
