I work for Edge Hill University - one of the UKs largest teacher training places. There are several paths open to become a teacher -\n\none is to become a full time undergraduate student, then complete a PGCE. I wouldn't advise this course for you though, given your circumstances - this would take 4 years.\n\na better option is to enter a full time undergraduate teaching degree - this will take 3 years. You will be entitled to loans as a student, and possibley subsidy grants from your place of learning to put towards child care etc. This all depends on your individual financial circumstances - but I do know of other people in a similar postion to you who have done this.\n\nanother option is to "earn as you learn" - get a job at a school and learn whilst working. These jobs are a lot more competitive though, and depend on the school agreeing to employ you without qualifications.\n\nyet another path is to do a part time teacher training degree - then you can continue working and caring for your child etc whilst gaining your qualification.\n\nIts worth getting in contact with one of our admissions tutors over this - you can find their details on the page below after a bit of searching.

If you want to teach in an American school abroad, go to the US Dept of State website. They don't hire you through the government, but this is the source for finding all the US-curriculum-based schools out there. Most of these schools require at least a bachelors degree (most prefer a masters), at least two years teaching experience, and all prefer teachers who have taught abroad before (no surprise there). I've looked into it for the future, and it is VERY competetive. Most of these schools get hundreds of unsolicited resumes every school year. Most of them also list on their websites where the job fairs from which they hire are. Go to as many near you as you can. Good luck!

Because they want to teach in a public or private school and need to obtain a teaching credential (license). In general, you usually need to be a graduate of an approved teacher education program in a college or university if you want to get a teaching license. The same applies for people who want to do other public school jobs (principal, guidance counselor, etc.)

A teacher has to have a Bachelor's Degree (4 years) and a teaching certificate.  The certificate is usually earned by persuing your Bachelor's, doing a semester of student teaching, and then passing a teacher's exam.  \n\nA couple of states, like Massachusetts, are beginning to require teachers to hold a Master's Degree, which is an additional two years, but that is rare. \n\nIf you are considering teaching, I would strongly advise P.E.  You make as much as any other teacher, have your summers off, and far less responsibility.

in the United States it varies by state.  At least a bachelor's degree in either education or the language you want to teach, appropriate teaching courses including internships and student teaching.  Some universities may require a stay in the target language country or an OPI (oral proficiency interview) to determine your level of competance in the language.  Some states require that you get your bachelor's in your language and then add a year for teacher preparation.  It varies widely by state.  Most teachers have a Master's degree, either in their subject area or in education, and most states require that you continue to take courses throughout your teaching career in order to remain fresh and up-to-date.  I would contact universities in the State you want to teach (their School of Education) as well as the website of the State Department of Public Instruction for the states in which you want to teach.

I'd suggest contacting the district directly and asking them what the qualifications are.\n\nI know in my district, teacher's aides have to go through the district.

There is no automatic qualification as a British citizen.\n\nForeign nationals may apply for certificates of naturalisation  (and through that automatically become a citizen of the EU).\n\nApplicants must: \n\n- have lived legally in the United Kingdom for five years (the last year should have been free of any time limit);\n- be 18 or over\n- not be of unsound mind;\n- be of good character;\n- have sufficient knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (depending on their age and physical and mental condition); and\n- stay closely connected with the United Kingdom.\n\nTo meet these residence requirements, you must not be absent from the United Kingdom for more than 450 days over the 5-year period, and you must not be absent for more than 90 days in the last year of the period.\n\nNB There is now an additional test in which you need to "demonstrate knowledge of life in the UK".

If you're talking about a teacher's credential, it depends on where you live and what you want to teach.  In the US, if you want to teach in a public school, you need at least a 4 year degree.  Each state has different requirements after that.

Short answer: a bachelors degree that satisfies the education licensure requirements of your state. \n\nWhat that means depends on the state you live/work in. Each state sets the requirements for teaching licensure, so the colleges within each state prepare their students for the requirements of their state. \n\nObviously, the requirements don't vary a lot between states, and many states have reciprocal agreements (for instance, if you got your college degree & teaching license in North Carolina, you could still get licensed to teach in Massachusetts without much hassle). \n\nTo find out the requirements for your state, you'll need to visit your state's education web site. The easiest way to find it is to search --teacher employment [your state]-- in a search engine. For instance, teacher employment North Carolina gets me  to http://www.ncpublicschools.org/employment/.

I assume you did not originally study in the UK.\nFirst, you will have to find out whether your credentials are accepted in another country.\nThere may be additional course work or an examination required.

Lots of colleges and universities offer teacher certification programs. Just about all of them do. Call up the local universities, ask for admissions, and they will let you know if they do or not.\n\nIf you plan to be a teacher, start paying more attention in your English classes to spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization.

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!

If you want to be a teacher you have to do a teaching course, either that or do the child care course then a PG Dip to allow you to teach.  If you are not sure what course is right for you, you should speak to the admissions dept at the college who can tell you more about the course entry requirements and couse contents, also ask if you can speak to a careers advisor who will be able to help.  If you got A & B grades for your highers/A levels then you could go to university and do your course there.  The careers advisor at the college would be a good starting point though. Good luck.
