If I have a bachelors degree, what other education do I need to become a teacher?

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to teach and where you plan to teach it. In some states a bachelor's degree is all that is necessary, although you will have to take some classes in the theory of education during your first couple of years of teaching. In others, you must have the equivalent of a minor in education before the state will even consider certifying you as a teacher. Still other states will require you to pass a competency test in the field you plan to teach. Check with the state department of education where you plan to work.

Answer 2

The education you still needs depends a lot on what and where you wish to teach. For K-12 teaching in the US, you will need a teaching certificate, or license from the particular state department of education . Certification programs vary, depending on your bachelor's degree and the type of certification you want. You may be looking at one to two years of classes and at least one semester of student teaching. Some universities offer a kind of intern crtification that allows you to teach, for pay as a part of your education. If you are going to take the plunge and take on more schooling, you might want to consider a Master's degree in education as well. One advantage is slightly better pay.
If you want to seek employment at a college or university level, you will need a graduate degree. Most universities prefer a PHD level.

Answer 3

if you have a bachelors in something biology, chemistry, english, a foreign language, math, etc etc you can pursue a masters degree in education with licensure. you would take gradute level courses in education and little to no subject matter coursework becuase you already have the basis from your bachelors. if you do not have a degree in something like above, you will have to take more undergraduate courses in order to have a firm basis for teaching. many states are moving toward requiring teachers to have a masters degree so you would be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. find a school you want to go to then look up their education department homepage to find out more.

Answer 4

It depends on the state's bureaucracy in the state in which you want to be certified, and you'll have to be re-certified each time you move from one state to another for the rest of your life, pard. So contact your state's Board of Education and ask what they want for your certification. You're looking at a bunch of paperwork and probably a little bit of internship (or "student teaching" as they may call it...)
