What college is great for being a teacher?

Question

I want to be a high school teacher but am not sure what college is good for that I don't want to pay alot and i don't have the best grades.

Answer 1

Check out the requirements for your state! Then look into community college to get the basics done. Call a couple of schools or check out the web pages to see what is requirred for a bachelors degree in the subject area you would like to teach. Ask your high school teachers where they went.

Answer 2

There's a saying that goes, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

If your grades aren't good, what qualifies you to go into the classroom and teach the same stuff that you don't know well enough to get a good grade in? Please, I would love to hear you explain why you think you would be a good teacher, if you're not academically strong. There is A LOT more to teaching than just getting along with the students- you have a RESPONSIBILITY to know the material inside and out, and to be able to answer any questions students might throw at you. Are you really capable of doing that?

To become a high school teacher, normally you have to get an undergraduate degree in a subject that is taught in high school, and then you should complete a Bachelor of Education program. Total university time: six years.

You don't seem to be that bright, because you haven't figured out that Yahoo Answers is an INTERNATIONAL community. Maybe if you told us your location, we could suggest a college in your community. However, I suggest you work on getting those grades up, or upgrading at a community college, before considering teaching as a career. It's the only thing that's fair for your future students.

Answer 3

Best idea would be to check out the state colleges and what they offer in your state. Out of state tuition will be a lot more than in state. If your grades are an issue, take community college courses first, you can get some of your prerequisites out of the way at a more reasonable price, and you are more likely to be admitted to a university.

Answer 4

Marshall University

Answer 5

Almost every teacher I knew went to a state school, why spend over 30k per yr for 4 yrs on a bachelor's degree if you might only be making 30-35k your first yr of teaching?

Answer 6

I think that Northern Arizona University is a great university. I have a friend who attends classes there she is majoring in special education and she loves it. The class sizes are small and the prices of classes, books and tuition are great!!
