Most any university should have a education progam.  It does depend on what area and grade level you want to teach.  If you want to do secondary (high or middle school) or elementary.  I had a friend that transferred from Texas to the Universtiy of Denver and she is a teacher.  If I am remembering correctely to get certification as a teacher in secondary education you pick what subject you want to teach, make that your major, and then minor in education.  I think she said it was the same as in Texas, but I have know clue about elementary ed.  Hope this helps.

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!

To teach in Elementary School (multiple subject, self-contained classrooms) you must have at least a BA/BS in any subject, with a credential. To teach a single subject (High School, etc.) you need a BA or BS in that subject and a credential. It would be best if you contact the State of California through http://www.ctc.ca.gov/default.html . That is the State Credentialing Office. They have all the answers. You do not need a Masters to teach in California in K-12 education, and you usually only get $1000 extra per year for it. 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!

There are programs called Alternative Certificate Programs available for non-education majors to pursue a teaching credential.  The requirements for teaching vary state to state, so start with the Department of Education website in your state for more information.  Good luck!

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).

Well the criteria for pre-school education is to go to school that has an chile development program. The highest form of education you need to be a preschool teacher is to get your CDA (Child Development Associate) certification. This certification doesn't take very long to achieve and most of thetime the classes are in the evening depending on the institution you choose to go to. But once you have you CDA, there are only a few more classes until you can obtain you Associates Degree in child development.

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!

You need a BA in your subject area, your case Early Childhood Education (this is pre-K to 3 in most states). Unfortunately, you can't be certified in only Kindergarten. You also need to take a few teaching tests called the Praxis. As far as how much you make, it's varied from state to state and even by district (I started at $37,000 in CT with a BA). \n\nI teach Middle School, but I love it. If you are seriously interested see if you can either observe or help out in a local kindergarten class a few days a week (to get hands-on experience) or apply to work as a teacher at a daycare (such as Children's Discovery Center or Kindercare). You can teach school-age children and are expected to have lesson plans, etc. It's a good trial to see if it's something you want to do without wasting a lot of time and money in college to find out you don't want to do it.

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.

Do you want to teach high school?\n\nDo you have a degree in education?\n\nIf you have a degree in education you need to determing which state in the US you want to teach in. You of course would need a work permit because you are from another country and a visa, etc.\n\nBut as far as teaching each state has different requirements. You would need to contact the state that you have interest in (board of education) and see which tests, etc. you need to take in order to get a license in that state.\n\nIf you want to teach at the university it is much simpler. You need at least a masters degree but it does not have to be in education. Simply contact a university that is hiring in your field and inquire. To teach at this level you would just need to get the work permits, etc. and would need to get a license for teaching.

You will need to get a teaching certificate. This is usually something you train for at college, I think you need at least a 2-year associate degree, and you could try looking into community college.\n\nHowever I urge you to get a proper 4-year bachelor's degree if you are going to be a teacher. There are way too many undereducated teachers these days. I am constantly amazed at some of the basic errors and thoughtless parrotry that comes out of today's classrooms from the teachers. We need smarter teachers, not teachers taking a shortcut just because they like kids. If you really care about kids, you will care about being a good, smart teacher so they can get a good education.

The previous answer had the basics, but you are in luck that you want to teach in a place that is experiencing extreme growth.  Teachers are in high demand in Las Vegas.  You might even want to check with the school district about any programs they might have to help those interested in becoming teachers.

I love how many people make stuff up just for those 2 points!\n\nYou MUST have a degree in teaching to teach (NCLB "highly qualified"), but the degrees you already have are an excellent "plus." \n\nFirst, go to your nearest teaching college/university (NOT online) and ask to speak to a graduate school/education college counselor. They can give you information on the various acceptable certification coursework/programs in your state. The university should be able to guide you through the certification process and the various choices open to you.\n\nSecond, sign up as a substitute teacher in your local school district. While the coursework at the university is needed to make the state certification board happy, the actual classroom experience you get as a substitute is invaluable to YOU. It is remarkable, the difference between a first-year teacher with substitute experience, and one without. Substitute teachers also have supports that full teachers in their first years don't (especially for discipline).\n\nThird, give some volunteer time to children's programs not through the public schools (e.g. scouts, church groups, etc.). More than one environmental perspective is valuable, and it looks darn good on a resume.

Nothing is cheap or free.\n\nYou can get student loans and pay for your education that way.  Your loans in many cases will be forgiven if you begin teaching and remain a teacher for a number of years.\n\nYou can become a teacher fast though.  See the links below.  CSU Long Beach is a nice school!
