Steps to Begin a Teaching Training Career

Get a Bachelor's Degree

In India, one can begin teaching immediately after passing the 10+2 exams or while still studying for them. To serve as a government teacher, candidates must first complete the admissions process. Entrance examinations such as CTET, TET, STET, and others are held to pursue a B.Ed. To become a government teacher, candidates must have obtained a B.Ed and begun teaching in the government.

Show your Fundamental Knowledge

Teacher education programs contain both classroom work and field experience. As part of their education degree program, candidates should take courses on managing classrooms, evaluating student knowledge, developing individualized learning plans, and recognizing cultural and socio-economic effects on the learning process.

Take part in Student Teaching

A few weeks to a year, into the student teaching program, prospective teachers are paired with an experienced mentor or instructor. Following the observation by the teacher, the candidates take leadership of the classroom (while still being watched), executing scheduled lessons, tracking student success, and managing classroom behavior.

Take the Teacher Certification Examination

All states require instructors to apply for licensure with the state department of education before beginning employment as a teacher in a public school. The majority of states charge a filing fee and provide first licenses upon completion of authorized programs. If the state provides tiers of licensure, they'll need to complete professional development before applying for an advanced license.
