art teacher
I know I'm only 13 but I am interested in becoming an art teacher when I am older. Out of interest, what courses would I have to take? How long would I take to qualify? etc

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
You'd have to take your normal core classes [[ english, etc ]], and classes in education + art. And you'd have to do that at a 4 - year college. So a minimum of 4 years.

I would probably just take a lot of art classes and look it up. Talk to your art teacher and see if she has ay good advice too :)

Significant Points
Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed.
Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions.
Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught.

ok, i am in a similar thign, onyli want to be a math teacher, not art, but you have to do the smae things basically. in high school take every art class you can take, pratice it, and love it (that is the most important one i think!) join (if your school has it) the Future Teachers of America (FTA) as soon as you can. you get to student teach for a few days at schools, it really is a wonderful experience! it will take you five years in college to get your bachelors degree (which you need to teach!) and constant updating and thigns like that. as a fellow Future Teacher, i wish you the BEST of luck

You would need to take classes in art, obviously. You would also have to take education (pedagogy) course work, including some sort of teaching certification. Some schools offer an actual degree in art education, though I'm really not sure if this is quite the same thing as "art instruction" (teaching about art vs. teaching art). If you're really very curious, there's no harm in checking out websites of various colleges, including universities and specific art colleges. Odd are, like most other education degrees, this would require a 4-year degree.

Quite a while. I'm looking into the same field for myself. You'll have to get a teaching degree, which means educational psychology and so on, and you'll have to get an art degree (which is insanely easy and doesn't require much talent). You won't have to worry about this for 5 years or so.
