You need to go to a 4 year university and major in elementary education. If your high school has a teacher academy for students, you could enroll in that. That would give you a head start, and may count towards some of your college classes.

How many college credits do you have? If you're not in college, get in. If you weren't overly academically inclined in h.s., start at the local community college and take basic math, English, science and history courses. Do that for a year or two and then transfer to a major university. There, you will have academic advisors who can then steer you into the right programs. Generally, elementary and middle school teaching are specialized degrees. High School doesn't require as many early childhood development courses. Graduate and then apply for your state license and apply at your local county school district office. It's usually easier to either do your internship at a specific school or start as a substitute -- that allows the principle who will do the hiring and firing, a chance to get to know you and of what you're capable. Good luck!

Go to college. You'll find out from there. That's the first step.

I agree with the other two answers...
But if there is a community college in your town
you can start out there....
