In Texas, for instance, you need at least 60 hours of College instruction to be a Substitute Teacher. Even then, you need to have a Bachelor's Degree to administer state examinations.
Most School Districts will not hire you if you don't have at least a Bachelor's Degree. You can, however, in Texas, become a teacher without a teacher's degree if you have a degree in another field. You can do this through a program called alternative education.
If, however, you don't have a bachelor's degree or 60 credit hours in College, you may be paid to go to school by your school district, if they have funds for that, called stipends; but you must sign a contract to work for low-income or high risk schools for a predetermined period of time. You just need to check with your states education department. In Texas, it's the TEA (Texas Education Agency in Austin. To get an idea of what Texas requires, visit http://www.tea.gov/

You may be able to become a substitute teacher with less than a bachelor's degree; unless there are some strange exceptions in your state, a bachelor's degree would be required. Contact your state's Department of Education for more information or visit their website.

I am a credentialed teacher in the state of California.To teach elementary or high schools,you need to have a Bachelor's Degree and in certain states,like California,at least one year of graduate school to get a credential.Emergency Credentials are given to College graduates for a short time;but to be a fully credentialed teacher,you have to have at least a Bachelor's degree and completed the state's credential requirements(which often means Graduate School).

No, you at least need a bachelor's degree with a teaching certification. That means you need several courses in education and you usually have to take some national or state tests. Some states allow you to teach until you complete your tests, but most will give you a deadline.

Most states allow for teachers in some disciplines to use industry experience to 'make up' for college education. For example, I have an Associates Degree in Computer Science but have 20+ years of professional experience. I can teach accredited college and high school classes as long as they are in my professional field.
I live in Texas but I'm sure most states are this way.
Just contact your local school and someone there should be able to answer that question as it pertains to the specific school where you want to work.
Good luck!

Perhaps in a private school, but I know one can't in the state of TX without a Bachelor's and a teaching certificate.

You should be able to be a teacher's assistant or a sub, but as far as I know, no you can't be a teacher without a degree.

God I hope the hell not.....although you are in FL which is ranked like 48th in education in the states. So maybe you can which explains why everyone down there is so frickin' dumb.
I can say this because I use to live there for 10 yrs! Holy shite I thought my IQ dropped just crossing boarder!

No degree is required to teach in private schools.
