Child Development coursework. Although she may have raised children, it doesn't automatically make her an expert on child psychology. She can get an associate's in this, she'll be all set.

Contact your state's department of education. Each state's requirements are slightly different, but all require core courses in education/development/planning etc. plus a certain period of "student teaching" under the guidance of an experienced teacher. There may or may not be a licensure/certification exam as well.
And depending on whether you are willing to relocate to an 'at risk' area (such as a rural district or depressed inner-city area) some of the requirements may be waived for a period of time while the certifications are being actively met.
There are also scholarships/advances etc. for certain subjects (again by state) such as math, special ed etc. that you may want to research.

To be a qualified teacher, one will be required to have achieved certain credentials. The credential requirements will differ from state to state as different state will have their own set of teaching credential requirements. Generally there are some basic credentials which are required before one is able to teach in a proper institution, they are; Single Subject Credential, Education Specialist Credential, and Multiple Subject Credential. These are the fundamental requirements for all states. On top of the list given, different states might have other types of teaching credentials they are looking for.
A Multiple Subject Credential will enable the applicant to apply for a teaching position in a grade school teaching environment. Where they will be given the power to teach inside a classroom in which one teacher handles different subjects, academic or otherwise.
As for teachers holding the Single Subject Teaching Credentials, they will be given the opportunity to teach the subject of their specialty. This is applicable to both high school and junior high school students, and anywhere else that follows a departmentalized form of instruction.

She needs to complete a Post Graduate Study that's education related, in whatever field she preffers. Or she can get a Teaching Diploma or Certificate.
