Most any university should have a education progam.  It does depend on what area and grade level you want to teach.  If you want to do secondary (high or middle school) or elementary.  I had a friend that transferred from Texas to the Universtiy of Denver and she is a teacher.  If I am remembering correctely to get certification as a teacher in secondary education you pick what subject you want to teach, make that your major, and then minor in education.  I think she said it was the same as in Texas, but I have know clue about elementary ed.  Hope this helps.

No, i dont think you need a hs diploma except for the job (nursing, doctors, lawyers, ect) to get a decent paying job. i work at the court house in my home town and i never graduated highschool, i also have my own child care business.and .i was able to get a child care degree at a tech school...and i just turned 24.\n\nmy idea of life is to live it to the fullest and do what you want in reason

my husband has a teaching degree but no certificate in another subject, but wanted to switch to special ed. in texas, there is something called emergency certification. it involves taking certain courses, working as a special ed teacher with a mentor. contact the education services center for your area, if there is something like that available, they will tell you how to get started.

No need of certificate, unless you want to open a day-care in your house.\nYou don't need to go through another 4 year misery for permits. You just need 6 units of early childhood education (from most community colleges) to have a assistant teacher's permit. It's really easy. With the units, it's much easier to find a job, and you get paid better.

Hmm... check out Teach for America.  I think that you have to get the BA first, but it pays for your teaching certificate if you qualify for the program.  Otherwise, I hear that some states give you money after the BA (pay your student loans etc).  I believe Texas is one of these states.  Good luck!

TX has a great alternative certification program for people who didn't obtain their degrees in education, but rather in something else. Depending on what area you are in is what Education Service Center you would need to go through. When I got certified, I went through the center in Fort Worth, so that is the link I am attaching. Go to the menu on the left and try "Certification Programs." There will be a link on the site that will connect you to other ESC's across the state. Good luck!

You'll have to start by working with Child Care Services. To start, you have to purchase a licensing packet and attend a free orientation class (pre-registration required). These are held monthly. Once you get all that done, then you can start working through the packet. Depending on what kind of day care center you want to provide (group day care, family day care, or child care learning center), click on the "Rules and Regulations" link on the left side of the page via the link below. \n\nGood luck!

You will need to take a few "common" education classes and then have to student teach in order to get your certificate. It probably would take a little longer than a calendar year.

Yep. I went to high school in Texas. I graduated last year. We had to take health class and had to learn CPR to pass the class. It's really not that hard.

Call your local CPS (Child Protective Services) office...\nIf it isnt listed separately in your gov. section of the phone book - call DHHR and ask them for the local number.\nAsk what qualifications you need to be a case worker in that county.\nYou will definately need a high school diploma / GED to start with.  Child development classes in college are great to add to a Social Worker's Lic. (you need one to do this)\nWhile you are going to college... volunteer in your community and get to know what non-profit organizations your area has.\nGood Luck

In schools I know, you'd need no particular formal education.  High school graduation would not be necessary.  You'd need to be good with kids, patient, well groomed, pass a criminal record check, and the same kind of skills you'd need to work in a restaurant kitchen or cafeteria.  Most of the training for such jobs happens after you get the job as each situation is different.  Previous experience in a school lunch room would be considered an asset.
