    You need a College degree in Education and a teaching certificate valid in the state you want to teach. You need to take and pass a special test to get your certificate. Once you’re certified, you can search for teaching positions online through school district websites or in the newspaper.

    OK there are several routes depending on qualifications already attained.

    You need a degree, so for that you need good GCSEs and A-levels (or equivalent).

    Then you can do a degree course in education/teaching with QTS (Qualified teacher status) which can be a BA or a B.Ed.

    If you do a degree which doesnt have QTS, then you have to do another course post graduate, a PGCE in the area of teaching you want to practice which gives you the QTS status.

    If you dont want to do the PGCE after your degree you can try and get a Graduate Teacher Placement (GTP) which is an employment based route to gain QTS where you work in a school as an unqualified teacher for a year and get qualified that way.

    Another route in is *during* your degree you can opt out for your third year onto a RTP registered teacher programme where you finish your degree whilst working at a school as an unqualified teacher and gaining QTS status!

    I hope thats makes sense :)

    Hi, There are so many ways to get job as a teacher, for primary & middle school teacher first you should have 10+2 qualifycation then you need to do T.T.C.(Teacher Training Course)then you are eligible for the Primary/Middle school teacher, for High school teacher you should have 10+2+3(graduation) qualification, then you need to do B.Ed course

    First, it depends on the type of teacher that “calls” to you…

    1. Traditional, public, grade school/high school.
    2. Private, religious-based, grade/high school.
    3. University public/private professorship.
    4. Montessory type of teaching.
    5. Waldorf type of teaching.

    What subject matter are you most proficient & wish to share with future folk, or would you like to encompass a wide-range of abilities & also learn as you teach???

    If I had the power to revamp our entire system of education, I would go with the Waldorf method…their teachers are very dedicated & become truly special “family” to their kids, since they take the same class from K thru 8th grade. A person seeking to become one of their educators, only requires 1 year of training in their school, and 1 year of internship with another teacher, after which they are evaluated by themselves & the Waldorf Board to make sure this is what they feel is best for teacher & classes.

    Their system integrates academics with sciences & arts..example: Geometry works would be taught with using pastels & shading techniques, along with it’s histories, and nature walks to find such in “real life”…extended classes might encompass building a birdhouse for the school or child’s yard, adding in the use of measuring & building tools, as well as architectural design. Makes sooo much sense!!!
    Plus, each school is it’s own business, owned & run by it’s teachers–they are the board of ed, they & the kids run the school & it’s maintenance…lots of “real” going on here!!!

    You can call any of their schools for a packet of their curriculums/teacher expectations, etc., or go on line…there are many international opportunities.

    Anyway, there’s an option, you may not have known about that might be interesting to your teacher & class…
    Have fun with your project!!!

    Good Journey!!!

    You could go for a one year programme teaching English in Japan. It’s called J.E.T. Google it.
