Definitely that is what I majored in! For secondary you will need an additional teaching subject as they require thaat you have two (I have English and Family Studies for instance) then you apply for teacher education at a university or college (teachers college is what its called in Canada however I went to Buffalo for mine as it was closer to me and it was a Teacher Certification Program at D'Youville) anyways that is only an 8 month program then you will be certified to teach! Good luck

Good question I would think you need a degree in Secondary Teaching but, thats for regular English. For good luck finding a high school that will allow you to teach creative writing, it's a great idea but schools are so stuck in thier We only read Beuwolf and The Great Gatsby ways, I hate those stupid books becasue I had to read them 100 times between high school and college

Yes, but you will need to take training to become a teacher. This may be a BEd (to move up in the system (promotions) you will need an MEd), or a teaching certificate issued by an accredited school/college.
Best of luck, you are needed.

Yes, you will need to go back and get your teaching certification. Basically you just complete all the education courses that you will need to meet the state requirements to teach on the secondary level.

maximum schools won't assist you to coach any type with in basic terms a BA in the sector. a great type of folk who coach at community colleges in the portion of imaginative writing carry and MFA (grasp of wonderful Arts). even regardless of the indisputable fact that, in case you have in basic terms a BA in English or something of that type, alongside with a Masters in coaching some community colleges would assist you to coach based upon journey. so a procedures as 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days colleges, maximum do no longer enable every person and not utilising a PhD coach till they seem to be a doctorate pupil. in case you do no longer very own any of those tiers, yet have some journey as a writing teach, consistent with risk you will desire to inspect coaching for a private business enterprise offering such workshops. yet another no longer particularly basic thank you to income the credentials for coaching a type of this form is to get a number of your imaginative works printed. after all, carry out a little extra study and it definitely relies upon on what type of credentials you have or are prepared to acquire. stable success.

Yes, it is as long as you teach the subject within which you are qualified. You can always take extra exams etc. when and where required.

Sure. Why not? You will have to take a fifth year to get your teaching credential, but you have already completed your speciality. Good luck to you!
