First you need to have a deep love for the subject
Then go to college in major in secondary education with an emphasis in history, or economic, etc...
Graduate and look for you a job through whatever school district you would like to be in.
Continue your education because in the teaching field that is how you make more money. On average you will receive an additional 6,000 a year for a masters degree, and it increases with any you get there after.
Good luck!!!!
Teaching is a fantastic choice for a profession!

I would consider what types of State assessments this grade has to take. Since I'm from Texas, the 8th graders have to take the history TAKS state exam and if they don't pass the history portion, then they are held back in 8th grade. Which means, it takes a great teacher to be in that position and it is a lot of stress and worry if your students are going to pass or not. So first find that out.

It really depends on the state you live or want to teach in. Most states require at least a bachelor's degree (4 years of college) and a teaching certificate (you can get the two at the same time, but do not have to). A math teacher friend of mine once told me the only good history teachers are really good story tellers.

I'd plan on getting a bachelor of arts degree in history, and minoring in either geography or political science. Then I'd work on getting a "post-bac" teaching certificate. (Lots of school districts will hire a 4 yr degreed person to teach with the condition they are actively pursuing teaching certification. The upside to going this route is you can often use your current teaching job in lieu of doing unpaid teaching internships.)
However, if you want to be really competitive in pursuing teaching as a career, you might want to also take enough hours in math and/or science so you will be able to teach in those areas (there are fewer people able to teach well in those subjects, and they pay more too!). Also, being bilingual is a plus, and being able to teach special ed will put a little extra in your paycheck as well!

seem, you probably did the terrific which you're able to do, and certainly it somewhat is all which you're able to do. there is not any perfection interior the international. And purely becuase you get some B's and a C one time on one rfile card does not advise which you have a nil risk of being regular to an excellent college. i think of that your ensure's could be putting too plenty rigidity on you to be a A scholar. confer with them approximately it.
