Answer 1

You are required to have a 4 year degree in education and it is usually recommended that you have a specialty (art, science, math, etc.). You must student teach and pass the Praxis tests and possibly other tests depending on which state you live in.

The more experience you have the better. In addition to the student teaching they like you to have so many hours in a school observing and teaching short lessons.
