Becoming a Teacher
Ask Your Question
Question
I am working as a software engineer with one of the top three automotive companies in the US and have worked here for over 7 years. Now I want to teach middle or high school. Do I need to take teaching course? If so, how many courses or credits and how long will this take? Who should I contact if I live in Michigan?
Answer
There is currently a shortage of teachers in many parts of the U.S. To find out what you need to have or do before submitting an application for employment, make an appointment at the district office where you would like to work. Once you have an idea of what's required, you can shop around for institutions where you can do the coursework you need. Let us know how things go.
