Re: Teaching in America
well legbreakgoogly, first you have to figure out the level you want to teach at which can be elementary, high school, college and/or university. I believe that you have to have a certification unless you've done master in that specific subject which in your case is history. elementary and high schools do demand certifications though as you have to go through student teaching. However the might have some difffernet requirements in other states. I am talking about Illinois and we have Illinois Certification Testing System (ICTS) as they have CBEST in california. They might have some different rules there but the fgood thing about getting certified is that you can teach in some other states with certification from just one state.
I would recommend talking to some education advisor to get exact information about what you plan to do.
