Your SAT score has nothing to do with becoming a teacher. It only allows you to get into a university...where you will learn to be a teacher. For my university, we did not even have to take the SAT only the ACT. They required a 15 or 17 score to be accepted to the university (I believe). To become a teacher you simply do the course work that is required by the university and your state.

Most colleges use a combination of SAT, class average an class rank for acceptance. If SATs are low, begin at a community college that has open admission from high schools, then transfer.
The SAT actually varies because some people get degrees in the subject area first and education courses later as I did. Your SAT scores tend to go up each time you take the test, because you learn how the questions are asked. Take a SAT study course

OK - SAT scores get you into college.. classes and majors get you a teaching degree....which gets you a teaching job....which sends you to get a masters degree.
Low SAT scores get you into community college which can get you into a four year college. 1000 SAT gets you into a little better school and so on....
The answer is no matter how low your scores you can find a way to a teaching degree. It doesn't matter how great a reputation your college has. All that matters is being in an accredited program that offers you the opportunity to become a teacher. The rest is up to you.

To be honest my SAT scores sucked and I've been teaching for 4 years. I only got a 980 or something like that. You need to find out what score the university you are appling for requires from you before they can accept you.

you have to pass the sat or some school using the act school this will show what level of classes. your goal to be a teacher is them set. then you just have to take the classes and pass them. it takes up to 4 years depended on the kind of teacher you want to be.
