The steps to becoming a teacher
Aspiring teachers typically complete three main steps to become a teacher:
- Take a college entrance exam. Please note that each program sets its own enrollment requirements and may not require a college entrance exam.
- Complete an approved educator preparation program
- Pass a content area assessment
