Answer 1

You can either
1. go to an University and do a 3 or 4 year teaching course, or
2. also go to University for a 3 year degree course in a certain subject and then do a year's Post Graduate Certificate in Education.
I know people who have done it both ways, and the second option seems to give a better chance of getting a job afterwards, at least it has to the people I know.

Answer 2

It depends on the government where you live. In the United States, generally the state where you live will require public school teachers to have a certificate, which they earn by taking courses at a university. Private school teachers, though, are not always required to have teaching certificates. I think the best thing is to ask a primary school teacher where you live, at the kind of school where your sister would like to work, and find out what qualifications that person had to get.

Answer 3

Generally, she will need to earn a college degree, complete a specified teacher preparation program and pass the state test for certification. It is best to attend a college that has an education department. In this case she could major in elementary education. If the college has an education department there will be a teacher degree program that will be very clear on the guidelines to becoming a certified teacher. If the college does not have an education edpartment then it is good to major in liberal studies because you will get a well rounded education. Always research the standards of teacher certification in the state you wish to be certified in. This is very important if your college does not have a teacher degree program.

Good luck.

Answer 4

The coursework to becoming a teacher isn't difficult for a bright person.

The route to getting a teaching credential is as follows:
*Attend a college or university that has a teacher preparation program.
*Take the course work that takes 4-5 years depending on whether or not she wants to graduate with a Master's degree, which I highly recommend. It is worth the extra time as she will start higher on the pay scale.
*Do 3-6 months as a student teacher and pass that.
*Take the state exam in the subject area in which she intends to teach, in her case Elementary Education.
*There also may be a state test for basic skills such as reading, written language and math that you must pass to be a teacher.

That's it.
