Most teachers these days have university training. If you get a lesser qualification you will not off the bottom rung of the teaching career ladder. In its early days, the Open University made a fortune out of non-graduate teachers wanting a degree to get promotion. Also, it is highly unlikely you will qualify as a teacher without doing full-time study on the way.\n\nIf you are already working, you could look at doing a university degree part-time. If you are in London you could apply to Birkbeck College, or (anywhere) you could enrol with the Open University. Be warned this takes a long time and is hard work.\n\nUni these days is no promise of a good job, but you need to go to Uni to get most decent jobs. If it were not so the Government would not have 18 year olds over a barrel with student loans!

If you check out the Training and Develepment Agency for Schools website, you'll see all the options available.  It all depends on how much education you have already had and if you have any previous school experience (as, for example, a Teaching Assistant).\nHere are the paths available to you (assuming you have A'Levels):-\n1) 4 year education degree.\n2) 3 year regular degree (advisable to do it in a curriculum subject), followed by a PGCE course (1 year).\n3) Registered Teacher Programme - which I think would be most suitable for you (warning - it's highly competitive).  Here'd the link http://www.tda.gov.uk/partners/recruiting/ebr/rtp.aspx\n\nIf you don't have A'Levels then I reccommend you try that first, or a conversion course (which takes a year) if you have NVQs or something like that.  Good luck!

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.

Find a local community college that offers primary or secondary education as a major. Apply for the Pell Grant, this can cover the cost of tuition, fees, and books. Depending on income and need, everything may be covered or you may receive a portion of money to just cover the price of tuition.\n\nThe application for the Pell Grant can be found below.\nGood Luck!

You can't even teach P.E. without going through teacher certification for your state.\n\nPick the job you want, THEN pick the major to go with it.

Check with your local community college to see if they have non-credit community electives taught by non-certified people who just love what their doing. That's about as far as you can get.\n\nIf you really are serious about becoming a career teacher, then you must go on to get the degree(s) and certifications. Check with your university advising center.

* Call your local public school headquarters, and ask if there is an "alternative certification" program where as long as you have a college degree, you can take classes/tests to get certified while you are already teaching and deduct the costs from your pay. If you teach a subject outside your credits, you may be required to earn additional course credits in that.\n* Also ask if there is another group that offers certification outside the school district.  In Houston it is called Region IV and\nit is better than the program offered by the public schools. Compare costs and requirements, and get recommendations from other teachers which one is better for your field of interest.\n* Can you contact Teach for America?  This nonprofit assigns college grads to teaching assignments to offset college loans.\n\nWhile you explore that, can you substitute teach? This may help you decide what subject, class size, demographics, etc. suit your teaching style, or which school administration you prefer.\n\nAs long as you have a college degree, you should be able to substitute teach or qualify for a program that will pay for your courses/certification out of your salary.  Good luck!

Go to the TES website: www.tes.co.uk - they have the biggest range of school jobs in the UK. Just go through and find 'non-teaching'. You can buy it every Friday too.\n\nThe Guardian Education also has a good range.

Check out Chester University. That's where I went. It's very pretty and middle class.\nRemember in UK you do not need a university education to teach at nursery level you only need a vocational course. Unless you want to study education for pre-school children in which case I could suggest a degree in developmental psychology instead.\nIf you have a vocational qualification in pre-school education from another country it should count in your favour to get work in this field in Britain.

Every state has their own requirements for getting a teaching certificate.  The most common method is through a bachelor's degree from an accredited university.  That is the most widely accepted requirement for being hired by most school districts as well.\n\nSome states have alternative programs for getting a certificate.  Areas with teacher shortages will have more options.  Usually these alternative programs are meant to help out the districts with the biggest teacher shortage problems (which are often the least desireable school districts to work in).  \n\nFor more information, try searching for your state's department of education web page.  They will describe the process through something like "routes to liscensing," or "alternative credentialing," or some similar phrasing.\n\nEven with alternative options, the most thorough and professional way to get a certificate is through college.  That will also be how most districts base your sallary -- the number of credits you have.  College is the best option -- try it -- you may really like it!

If you are in the UK there are several different routes.\n\n1. Do a degree in food technology or design technology specialising in food.  After degree you can go one of two ways...\n1a. If over 23 (I think, might be 25 but I'm fairly sure its 23) you can do a Graduate Teacher Programme which basically involves working and getting paid as a teacher in a real school under supervision of a qualified teacher and a university which supervises the course.  You complete assignments and it can be completed in a very short amount of time.\n1b.  At any age, do a PGCE at a university.  The governement offers a lot of incentives such as a grant.  You are in uni most of the time, but have placements in schools.\n\nA second route is to do an education degree with qualifieds teaching status (QTS) , this takes 3 to 4 years and means you don't need to do a post graduate degree.

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.

There are a couple of ways that you could go about getting this. If you already have a degree, you can take the alternative route. This consists of taking a few classes at a university and then taking the Praxis I and II. If you currently have a teaching degree, then all you have to do is take both parts of the Praxis. After you get your certification, you have 5 years to earn some C.E.U.'s to renew your teaching license. This is my second year teaching and I love it. GOOD LUCK! :)

In most states you need to complete a Bachelors degree in Education.  This can take anywhere from 3 years to 5 years depending on the program and how many credits you decide to carry.  If you already have a degree, than (in most states) you can apply for an emergency teaching certificate and complete your full certificate in the summer.  Additionally, keep in mind that now because of No Child Left Behind and other Legislation teachers are required to become Highly Qualified and continue taking courses to further their knowledge for the duration of their teaching career.

You don't have to work, but your summers may not be free.  Continuing education is a key part of most teachers' career development.  Many school districts key pay increases and tenure (permanent employment) based on advanced degrees (Masters and PhD.) and teacher groups like the NEA actively encourage its members to do more study. Additionally, you may find yourself involved in summer school classes or other activities.\n\nIf you're considering becoming a teacher, you should consider this:  those who choose teaching as a career are likely less interested in a job that has summers off than they are with the opportunity to educate and motivate children.
