I am thinking of going back to school to become a teacher. But I already have a BA in Accounting. Would I need another BA in Education and what are the next steps?

if you want to teach accounting, you can get a masters in education. If you wantto teach another subject you need to go back to school for a second BA

You should check into transition to teaching programs. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and Sociology and was able to enroll in a transition to teaching program and teach while I was working on my master's in education. (I graduate in May!!) Check out the sites below:

if you want to do this as cheaply as possible, you may want to consider an ACP. Search for "alternative certification program" and the name of your city. Look at the websites and see which offer an internship type program. here is how mine (ACT houston) went. We had class on Monday nights and almost all day Saturday for about 2 months. I was taught by two teachers in the district I currently work for. One of the teachers gave me a lead (my former AP had just been given a new school). I used her recommendation to get me an interview. In the interview, I used the name of the other instructor because she was so well respected in the district. I interviewed at two places. The first school, the principal said that the HR department said they couldn't hire me because i was an ACP candidate. The second principal went to HR and fought for me and I got the job. Sometimes it is harder to get in, but it is the quickest way. During my first year, it was my internship. I was observed several times by my ACP, went to monthly meetings, and the principal had to agree to resign me. When he agreed, I was able to get my certificate (as opposed to the 1 year probationary certificate). Each ACP is different, but I think my ACP did a very good job and gave me lots of support. I had to take my content exam before my internship and I took the teaching exam during my internship. During the internship, money to pay the ACP was taken directly out of my paycheck (which is much better than having to take out a loan). Before you do this though, PLEASE make sureyou want this. Many people quit within the first couple years because I think they underestimate the utter work required, the stress, and the way the kids will behave. Good luck.
