To become a world history teacher in virginia?

Question

any knowledge on he requirements and how lng it wuld take??

Answer 1

I'm not a teacher, but I believe in Virginia you have to pass a certification test in order to teach the major classes.  So I am guessing after your college degree and student teaching internships 4- 5 years.  That is if you pass the first time.

Answer 2

I just interviewed with a school in VA.  Here's what they told me:  I have to have a 4 year BA in education (they will not hire anyone without a current, up to date license); I have to have passed the Praxis II(which I already have); & I have to take the VCLA (It's a 4 hour long reading test); I need to fill out their application; & send in references.  Once all this is done & I have passed the VCLA, they can hire me.

Answer 3

masters degree is preferred with certification program.

But the history to teach in Virginia is American history.It is the original playground for American history!
