What qualifications would i need to teach in America?
It depends on what grade level and subject you want to teach. If you want to teach secondary school, it’s a good idea to get a bachelor’s degree in the subject you want to teach: art, science, math, etc. You will have to take classes in education also, but that can be through a one year Masters program, etc Each state also has their own requirements for specific classes and tests. A lot of states accept the Praxis test, but others like Washington, Georgia, Massachusetts, etc. have their own tests. The main thing is to get a degree in the subject area you want to teach if you want to teach high school and get a degree in Elementary Education if you want to teach elementary students. An extensive practicum is required also – student teaching. It would be included in your teacher education program. Good luck!
