How much training or education does a teacher have to get?

Answer 1

Requirements for regular licenses to teach kindergarten through grade 12 vary by State. However, all States require general education teachers to have a bachelor’s degree and to have completed an approved teacher training program with a prescribed number of subject and education credits, as well as supervised practice teaching. Some States also require technology training and the attainment of a minimum grade point average. A number of States require that teachers obtain a master’s degree in education within a specified period after they begin teaching.

Most of the time teachers need 4 years of teaching training. It depends on what subject you want to teach. If this helps im glad it did!

They usually require you to have your BA and Teacher's Credential, but some private Christian School will allow you to teach up to 6th grade with a AA with intent to get your BA. I worked for awhile int he private sector with only my AS degree. All Public Schools require BA unless you work in a very remote area and then they may allow exceptions.
