i have a BS in business, i want to become a high school teacher. what do i need to do?

Answer 1

You should search for the Department of Education website for your state, which will outline the requirements for becoming a teacher in your area. Every state has different requirements.

Answer 2

I don't know where you're writing from, but I can tell you that New York requires a Master's Degree in Education to become a teacher. Check any school in your local area to learn the requirements. In your case, you would aim for a Master's in Education with a major in Business, Business Administration, or a related field.

Answer 3

You need to get a secondary education degree. Some states require only a bachelor's, while others require a master's. Such as it is, many if not most grad schools are not too picky about your undergrad major (i.e., it is possible to go from bachelor's in business to master's in education), so you needn't start all over as an undergrad if your state requires a master's degree to teach. go to the web and look up "secondary teaching - licensure requirements - [your state]." Also, have you looked into things like "Teach for America"?

Answer 4

I know in the state of North Caroina. You can become a lateral entry teacher. But becoming a lateral entry is when you go back and take a few classes to get certified and then take Praxis II in your area you want to teacher so you can get your license. I hope this answer helps you out!

Answer 5

Check the state department of education website in your state. You can teach with a bachelor's degree in most states but you will have to get your master's in 5-10 years. You do need to get certified to be a teacher though. You can sub in the meantime.

Answer 6

Read the law for your state or nation

Take the extra college courses required (e.g. Special Education)

Student teach, if required

Take the Test if required for a given grade and subject
