take a look at my higher education planning and finance site: http://sites.Google.com/site/learningandfunding/
You need to get a BA in education from an accredited university with a major in History and a minor in another subject that is taught in schools. Advice to the wise: talk to several school districts as to a minor that would be paired in your school district. Then, depending on the state, you take the Professional and Subject matter tests for licensing.
You need to get a BA/BS in history, take education classes, take any required tests for a teaching credential, and do any required student teaching/internship for a credential. This generally takes 4-5 years of college.
You'll need to have education classes, take testing for a credential, and get a teaching credential.
Credential is usually plural: "before giving a teaching position, the university will scrutinize your credentials."
Teach. Get a teaching credential.
Yes an Iowa teaching credential will transfer to California. However, once you obtain a preliminary California credential you will then have to supplement it with a basic knowledge test (CBEST), and eventually to become permanent you will need a series of Bilingual teaching classes (BCLAD). Overall it is pretty easy.
I don't want a copy of your credentials.
No, a California teaching credential will not transfer to the state of Iowa. Iowa does not participate in the Interstate Agreement with the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification.
A California credential will transfer but with a catch. Many states, including CA, allow teachers with an out of state credential to teach, but must drop the status of their credential down a few steps. For instance, Oregon and Washington will allow the transfer but your credential will be "transitional" or the equivalent of a "preliminary credential" here in CA. The link below offers the list of reciprocity or interstate agreement in regards to teaching credentials. Some states are easy to get into while others are not.

yea yes u have too
Yes and no. It depends on the credentials they hold in education. If a teacher has a credential in middle school education in many states they can not teach a lower grade or if they are a history teacher they can not teach out of the history credential. If you are asking about outside of education the answer is "yes." If they want a job in another field or area and someone wants to hire them they can work any job. Degrees and credentials in education are two different things. A person can have a degree in basket weaving and as long as they go through the credential classes, testing, and student teaching they can teach the subjects/classes/area of the state issued credential. There are often people in education who retire out of business or another professional job and complete classes in education who are teaching as a second career.
Most teaching credentials do transfer from state to state. However, licensing for the new state may be required in order to get a job.
It takes 4 years of college and the cost depends on the college and how much each unit is. In CA it takes 5 years to become a teacher. The 5th year is for the credential program. To get into a education program you will have to take testing and to finish a program there are also several tests given plus an internship/student teaching that has to be done before a credential is issued. Teachers also have to continue education and training after they start teaching. It is required to keep a teaching credential.
