Well, first and foremost, you have to have a licensure,
whether that's like K through 12 or K through six,
you have to have a license to teach in a classroom,
of course, and they like if you have experience
like student teaching experience
whether that is the basic 12 weeks or the entire year,
having that experience before getting in the classroom
and having that licensure is key to becoming a teacher.
