How do I become a teacher?

So far, I have a learned quite a bit about becoming a teacher. Most of what I know, I have learned through my brother Danny, who graduated from UMF in 2001, and is currently a Math Teacher at Leavitt High School. When I expressed my interest to follow in his footsteps, so to speak, he was more than willing to fill me in on his path to success. I am already on my way to becoming a teacher. I took the Praxis 1 in November and did amazingly well, and I will take the Praxis 2 as a junior, I believe. To gain professional standing as a teacher, a 2.5 GPA is also needed. Without a 2.5 GPA, a student can not move on to take Practicum as a Sophomore. Then, as I mentioned, Praxis 2 is taken as a Junior, and Student Teaching is done as a Senior.

I don’t have any questions or concerns in this topic area because as soon as a question arises, I simply ask my brother Danny, or his wife, Jessica, an Ed. Tech at Peru Elementary, and my question is thoroughly answered.
