I am getting my BS in philosophy/honors degree but would like to teach high school humanities/philosophy courses. Would I need to have a BA in education before I could do that? Or could I get a Masters in Education and teach?

where do you live? In Canada - no. You have to have your Bachelors in Education - after completing your University course and your teachers college then you can teach.

You should be able to go in as a lateral entry. This allows you to teach in an area that you already have a degree, like you stated. You may have to go back to college to take a few courses as you work. Check with your local board of education to find out thier requirements.

No, you do not have to have your Bachelor's in Education to do a Master's in Teaching. My sister's degree was in Theatre, and she did a Master's of Education and is teaching. Another option, if you don't want to do a full Master's degree (2 years) right off, is to do a Post-Bachelor's Teaching Certificate. These programs are 1 year, intensive teacher training. (Classes in Ed Psych, Educational Theory, Student Teaching, Praxis Exams) I've heard good things about these programs, and just about every smaller state university offers this program. http://www.education.pitt.edu/programs/certificates.aspx Here's a link to some of these certifications offered at Pitt. (close to where I am)

I'd go for the Master's in Education, you can get the certification, but the Master's is just one or two more classes and they pay you for the Master's, the certificate, no pay.

I have a BA in Political Science and then received a MS in education and after that an ED.D. You would need to take sufficient courses in a field such as English in order to teach in a high school. Contact your state education department for an exact description of the requirements./
