How do you become a teacher?

I’m interested in becoming a teacher but not sure where to start. Can someone explain the steps or qualifications needed?

To become a teacher, earn a bachelor's degree in education or a subject area, complete a teacher preparation program, and pass required certification exams. Gain classroom experience through student teaching. Finally, apply for a state teaching license. Some roles may require a master’s degree or continuing education credits.
