Applying for Teaching Jobs

When can I get hired to teach?

This question is not as simple as it seems.

In all honesty, any school can hire any person they want at any time they want.

But, if schools do not hire a properly qualified teacher, the school can get in big trouble if the teacher does a bad job.

So, to protect themselves, schools typically require two things before they hire a teacher:

  1. Graduate from an accredited university
  2. Pass the appropriate content test
  3. Enroll in a certification program

Once you have those two criteria met, then you have a good chance of being hired.

What do I have to do before I’m hired to teach?

Before you’re hired to teach, you should pass your content test and enroll in a certification program.

BUT- the more work you can complete in your certification program, the better.

The first year of teaching is INCREDIBLY hard and your certification program can help you prepare for some of the challenges.
