bigsix1230: How do you become a middle school science teacher?
I want to teach Middle School Science and I want to earn my degree in Earth Space Science with a concentration in education. Am I on the right track? Can i teach middle school with a certification in Earth Space Science, or should I pick a different subject?

In my state there are 2 options, (1) is you get your BSEd in Secondary Science Education, and are certified to teach grades 7 to 12. . . or (2) you get your BSEd in Elementary Education (with a Science Focus) and are certified to teach K-6. I know, it’s crazy to split it up like that, (gotta love government:) but the 6th graders are taught by elementary certified teachers, and the 7th and 8th graders by high school certified science teachers. And all of our middle schools are 6-8.

You can teach at a local charter school, which requires no certification. Just keep in mind that you have to abide by their rules and teach the students in a certain method like how the book teaches it. So, you will have limited freedom. However, you will get experience in the education field. I have taught at two charter high schools, but I am going back to school for my MA and maybe a pHD to teach college students.
