How do I become a teacher?

First, have the want to become a teacher, if you don’t want to do it what’s the point. Second, graduate from UMF, or any other accredited college. In order to do this one must learn how to be successful at UMF and use resources to our advantage. Next follow the steps to get certification in the state you want to teach in. Just because you have a degree doesn’t mean that you qualify to teach in every state. You still must apply, pay, and then spend the next few years proving that you deserve this job. The assignment on how do you become certified to teach brought to light so many things I did not know about becoming certified. I hadn’t realized how hard it was, how much paperwork their was, how much money was involved, how many tests I would have to take, and how much work and learning I would have to do in order to stay a teacher.
