How do I become a teacher in Illinois?
Favorite Answer
You also have to pass the Illinois Basic Skills test and any subject test (like Math, Science, etc) if you are teaching secondary.
If you are getting your secondary certification, you also have to have a major in that subject area (or the equivalent of a major in number of classes).
You will probably also have to complete a master’s thesis to complete the masters portion.
Before you can get your certification you also have to pass an Assessment of Professional Teaching test.

1-Have a teaching degree
2-Be state certified by passing a few exams
3-You may be hired if you promise the chosen school to get a Master’s Degree in teaching within a specific time interval.
