I'm a UK citizen, but I would really like to teach in an American hight school. However, I can't seem to find any information on how to go about this. Who I need to speak to, or what I need to do, or what qualifications I need... Does anyone have any idea? Please help.

You need a bachelors degree in the subject that you would like to teach ( Such as English, and a minor or second degree in Secondary Education which includes student teaching. Depending on the state you move to you will almost certainly have to do some bridge work to get certified to teach in that state. Each state has different requirements. For instance in Texas you must take and pass a college course on Texas History. If you teach in a high need area, such as Math, Science or Special Education , they may let you work on probation until you get your teaching certificate. You may be able to substitute teach until that point if you teach something else. Our Federal Government requires that Public High School teachers be Highly Qualified, meaning they majored in the subjec that they teach in. Private Schools set their own standards and rules.

I live in the U.S. and wages are very good in the schools near us 55,000.00 a year on average and up. We do not have a demand for teachers at this time UNLESS... you are going to consider teaching special education.

it relies upon on each state the particular skills/trainings/endorsements you'll want. i understand for specific which you'll want a coaching certificates to coach in a public college. whether in case you propose on coaching in say... Washington state, you like a WA state coaching certificates. not all certificates carry over - in fact maximum do not. So if instructors circulate states, this is an ordeal to get recertified. in case you elect to coach everywhere and everywhere at the same time as additionally getting paid extra, you will desire to get your national Board Certification. strategies you this is amazingly very diffiuclt and intense priced (some districts can pay for this on condition which you have been with them for somewhat).

at least 4 years of college. Search for a school district in a city you wish to relocate to and give them a call or e-mail them.
