It depends on the qualifications wanted by the school where you want to teach.\n\nSome schools in non-English-speaking countries don't require special qualifications.  These schools often just hire native speakers as teachers.  These schools are also not very reputable.  In particular, make sure that you never give them your passport!  Some schools actually hold their teachers' passports as a way to try to keep them longer.\n\nOther, more reputable programs will require you to have a special certification for teaching English, like a master's degree in TESOL/TESL/TEFL or a TESOL certificate.  Check with your university's department of linguistics or department of education to see what kinds of qualifications they offer.  For example, my university offers a TESOL certificate program of about a year of coursework, which can be done in conjunction with a bachelor's or master's degree.\n\nIn addition, for non-native speakers, they might have a requirement to verify your proficiency in English, like a TOEFL score.

You can get your foot in the door with some English teaching companies.  Nova, for instance, has a publishing branch that I'm interested in.  So I'm leaving for Japan in August to teach conversational English, and have it in the back of my head to keep an eye out for opportunities with their publishing company.\n\nI think your best bet would be to go over and teach English just to get set up and get your foot in the door, then begin to network, jobhunt, and outshine the other "tourist" English teachers.

Well, it varies state by state, as they all have different rules for teaching certifications.  I did not study education, but studied chemistry.  I decided I would like to teach.  Florida had and still has a huge teacher shortage.  In Orlando they were hiring people like crazy to be teachers and could not fill the classrooms.  All you had to have was a 4 year degree in anything and you could get a 3 year temporary teaching certificate.  Then, the school district paid for the training for me to get fully certified.  This was Orlange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida, but I know there were a lot of school districts that were this way.

Each state deparment of education has a website.  Each state has different requirements for teachers and for which subjects there is a need for teachers.  Generally needed is a bachelor's degree with a prescribed number of education courses, student teaching experience, a teacher's license from that state (each state is different and they generally don't recepricate).  An exam is usually required to get a teaching license.  Contact the state department of education for any state that interests you and see if there is a need for ESL (also known as TEFL, ENL, teacher of ELL (English language learners) etc.\nI know that ESL teachers have several listservs--you might google ESL and see if you can find one.  I'm sure they can answer your question better than I can.  There is not much of a need for teachers of English to speakers of English--in fact, there is more of a glut on the market.

* Call your local public school headquarters, and ask if there is an "alternative certification" program where as long as you have a college degree, you can take classes/tests to get certified while you are already teaching and deduct the costs from your pay. If you teach a subject outside your credits, you may be required to earn additional course credits in that.\n* Also ask if there is another group that offers certification outside the school district.  In Houston it is called Region IV and\nit is better than the program offered by the public schools. Compare costs and requirements, and get recommendations from other teachers which one is better for your field of interest.\n* Can you contact Teach for America?  This nonprofit assigns college grads to teaching assignments to offset college loans.\n\nWhile you explore that, can you substitute teach? This may help you decide what subject, class size, demographics, etc. suit your teaching style, or which school administration you prefer.\n\nAs long as you have a college degree, you should be able to substitute teach or qualify for a program that will pay for your courses/certification out of your salary.  Good luck!

Go to college first (but I'm sure you already knew that). After you graduate, you will need to get a teaching license in NY. The college you attend will have more information on how to get licensed and to get a job in the place that you want. Also, check out http://www.nysed.gov/.

Our district, Guilford County Schools (and all over North Carolina), hires VIF teachers to fill vacancies quite frequently when they can't find qualified American teachers.  Check out this program: http://www.vifprogram.com/\n\nHe may not get "the best school in the world" to start out with. But, once he gets in and teaches for a year or so, he can transfer to another school, if he desires.\n\nHope this helps!!\n\nHave an AWESOME day!!\n\nCosmicKelly :)

Go to the department of education for your state and look up the requirements.  With a master's, you can teach at a community college.  \n\nIf you want to teach K-12 you need a teaching credential.  If you didn't major in education and want to teach, you can do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program.  These are acclerated programs for working adults, they give you all the coursework you need to become certified.  You can also do that kind of program through your school district IF you are hired for a teaching job.  You can't do it through your district unless you are hired.  \n\nIt's a confusing process, isn't it?  Start with your DOE website, though.  Good luck!

I am a retired teacher. I think your best bet would be to go to a teacher's employment agency to see what they have to offer. Usually the one who hires pays the fee.\n\nAlso, you could look in the local papers, particularly on a Sunday where classified ads abound for teacher openings. Look under "Education" in the classifieds.\n\nFurther, The NEW YORK TIMES, Sunday edition is an excellent resource. It was a great help to me when I relocated once in my career.\n\nGood luck.

First, prepare all necessary documents that may be required - CV, transcript, certification to teach (required by some), certification in using the english language (required by some).\n\nSecond, check embassies and university websites regarding entry to the country and job vacancies. (Check your documents and what you have against their specific requirements and try to comply).\n\nThird, formal application.

Every state has their own requirements for getting a teaching certificate.  The most common method is through a bachelor's degree from an accredited university.  That is the most widely accepted requirement for being hired by most school districts as well.\n\nSome states have alternative programs for getting a certificate.  Areas with teacher shortages will have more options.  Usually these alternative programs are meant to help out the districts with the biggest teacher shortage problems (which are often the least desireable school districts to work in).  \n\nFor more information, try searching for your state's department of education web page.  They will describe the process through something like "routes to liscensing," or "alternative credentialing," or some similar phrasing.\n\nEven with alternative options, the most thorough and professional way to get a certificate is through college.  That will also be how most districts base your sallary -- the number of credits you have.  College is the best option -- try it -- you may really like it!

People who are looking to find a teacher will not be looking here. I would suggest looking up all the montessori preschools in your area, as far as you are willing to travel every day. Go and hand in your resume and offer yourself as a casual teacher. When a job does become available, they will offer it to you because you know the kids, staff and routine and they have seen what a great worker you are.\n\nOtherwise, look in the local classifieds.
