"Hi, I'm Laura from youngwriterswrorkshops.com and I'm going to talk about becoming a teacher. If you are interested in becoming a teacher, I always recommend that people work with kids in some form to really found out if that's what they enjoy doing. Get some experience either volunteering or working in a camp or in some other kind of setting where you're working directly with kids and find out if it's something that feels really comfortable for you and something that you enjoy. Your education as, to become a teacher, of course involves a college degree. Now, there are some programs where you can earn a teaching credential combined with a Bachelors. There are also programs where you can earn a teaching credential in an alternative way. Alternative credentialing programs may be available in your area. So, that's something that you could research. But, usually, to become a qualified teacher, you need both a Bachelors degree and a teaching certification that you've earned through a credentialing program, and these vary from state to state. A few other alternative routes to teaching could be looking into private schools in your area. Some private schools do not require a teaching credential and it might be a job, something to look into before you do a teaching credential and teaching in a private school to find out if it's a fit and to get a lot of good experience. There are a few charter schools, which are, charter schools are public schools that are funded publicly but operate independently of school districts, and there are charter schools that hire teachers without teaching credentials, so that might be another way to get started in teaching. A lot of times, charter schools are a good, are more open to hiring new teachers. So, to sum up a way to get involved in teaching, to become a teacher, is to get a college degree and also some sort of teaching credential. Get some experience and find out if it's the right thing for you and also do volunteer work or substituting in order to get a little bit more experience and to find a job."
