How do I become a teacher?

There are certain technical requirements I must meet. To be an Earth Sciences teacher, I must take college courses to earn a B.A. degree in Geology. I must also pursue a second major in education. As we discovered in the Certification exercise, this state requires a certain number of credit hours to have been earned in a college level teacher education program. I must also take Praxis 2 tests and get a grade that meets or exceeds Maine's requirements. As per program requirements, I will be practicing in local schools to gain field experience. This will start with the student mentoring program and teachers' assistant programs. I will build a portfolio of artifacts, building on the notebook we are starting for this course. I already have the 5 year certificate with background check.
I would like to learn more about portfolio building.
