I Want To Get A Teaching Degree Online..help?

I want to be a high school English and/or Math teacher.
I want to go to college online to do this.
I have done some research but it all leads me to dead ends.
No online college will offer a secondary education program to get the degree.
Like University of Phoenix, they only offer paraprofessional degree, and for the secondary education degree it is for someone who already has a degree in something other than education.
Please, help me find an online school that is accredited and also help me find the correct program to get into to become a high school English teacher. Thank you.

    University of Phoenix offers a bachelors in Elementary Education. You could get a degree in that and begin working while working towards obtaining a master’s degree in Education/Secondary Teacher Education, which would allow you to teach at the high school level. Getting a master’s degree often results in a raise in pay.
    University of Phoenix goes by the student’s state’s guidelines for certification to best prepare students for certification.
    Good Luck! Hope this helps!

    I am a teacher and it’s extremely unlikely that even if you could find a program online- that any school district would hire you.
    Teachers are considered professionals and have strict regulations surrounding their training and certification.
    If you’re serious about becoming a teacher, you should contact a college nearby and ask if they have a teacher training program.

    There are two reasons you are not finding what you are looking for.
    1. Teachers have advanced degrees. No bachelors is sufficient. To enter a credentialing program requires a bachelors as a prerequisite. So you should have been doing your searching for graduate schools.
    2. The other reason is that one of the requirements of every state is student teaching. This means the university must supervise you teaching as one of their classes. Online schools do not have the ability to supervise nationwide – thus they cannot offer it.
    I have only heard of one school online that I know teachers have earned their credential from – Western Governors.
    Now – remember that states certify their own teachers – and the program must be state appreived. I know WGU is appreoved in my state – but you have to do the homework and see if your state does so also…this then brings you to the easiest way to find a school – All states post their approved programs. simply go to your states list, look into each school. If its not on the list – you cannot earn a credential there….here is my states as an example:http://www.ctc.ca.gov/educator-prep/appr…
    (if you click on the second one – you will see Western Governors)

  • There is no specific time in life to get a teaching degree nor an age limit. You must be sure of who online degree program you want because of the thus a variety of programs that are offered online by differing institutes each over the world. You can find such schools over here – EducationMajorsU.com
