Answer 2

You really should call a college that has a teacher ed program for most of these questions. By the way jbopple is almost correct in what she says. A bachelor's degree takes at least 4 years where I am. I can't tell you the general classes because I'm taking it for secondary and/or middle school meaning: 6-12. However, a full time student is anywhere from 12 to 18 credits where I go. Anything more, we have to pay for each credit over. I fully agree with jbopple on other points as well. She pretty much sums up a lot of what you want answered. Part time degrees take a LONGER time than full time. My suggestion is try to get full time. And you really should call a college about this.

If your going part time (which is 12 credits and under per semester) your going to be in college for a long time. An accociates degree (2 year degree) is 60 credits. A bachelor's is another 2 years as a full time student, around 60 credits again give or take. But as a part time student, it will take longer.

Requirements differ for each state. New York has the highest standards as far as teaching goes so if you get certified in New York, you can easily get a job anywhere else in the country.

You'll first be taking "core classes". Getting your english credits out of the way, your math, sceince, social science, art/music and gym.

After those classes they are going to start you on (since your going for kindergarten), a major in primary education. You'll be taking courses like Early childhood development and basic teaching courses.

Later on your going to need to do an intership. The school will help you look for one but if you have any connections in elementary school or daycares, you should ask them about interning.

After you get you associates and your bachelor's, you need to take the certification test for the state you recieved your latest degree in. Then your set to teach. Often your place of internship is a good place to start looking for a job. So make a good name for yourself while your there.

In most states, you must recieve your masters within 5 years of your bachelor's degree.

And tenure is usually granted about 2-3 years into your teaching career (as long as you stay in one place).

Answer 4

probably would take 3-4 years, maybe longer, you have to take courses in which the university sees fit to enable you to become a teacher. The university you are attending will usually have an outline of courses and minimum amount of credit hours you will need to have completed by the time you graduate. You would be better off contacting the specific university in which you are looking at to find more information. Each university is different a bit so.... hope this helps.

Answer 5

First off. I hope that the information is for a friend since you can't spell or use punctuation even though there is a spell checker built right into this page.

Call a college in your area that has a good teacher ed program and ask them. People on yahoo!answers will probably not be the best source of information you could tap into for such a specific question.

Answer 6

There is an old adage that says: Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach. Those who cannot teach, teach teachers.....
