Question

I want to know what the best way to become a teacher is i am still in college. what should my major be? do i have to do my bachelors in order to start teaching? what steps should i take?

Answer 1

I'm studying to be a teacher in FL it should be the same more less in other states. The best way is just to figure out which grade you want to teach. For lower grades like Pre-K- 3 would be early childhood education. Grades K-6 would be elementary and then you have middle and high school which is just a specific area you like the best like English or Social Studies. I know in Florida you can substitute with an Associates in Education and to teach you need a Bachelors. The best way to find out more information is to see a counselor and they should be able to help you. Good luck and hope this helps.
