The process to become a teacher is an in-depth, complex process. It involves passing two standardized tests, the Praxis I and Praxis II, taking many rigorous education courses, including Practicum Block and Student Teaching, and receiving certification to teach. Along with taking classes and passing tests, one must become skilled and knowledgeable in his or her content area (primarily for Secondary/Middle Education majors), and continue to be lifelong learners. Teaching is more than just memorizing and regurgitating facts to students, it requires working with students and making sure that they understand what they are learning. Most of this I have learned from my advisor and peer advisor, along with my EDU 101 class. Just talking about the different requirements with everyone helps to ease a lot of the anxiety that is created by not knowing. Having lived in the Farmington area and being familiar with the Education program for years has helped a lot, too!
My question about becoming a teacher is in which states will my Maine license transfer to and in which states will I need to take another test or exam?
