The simplest way to find out the details for your particular state is to either go to your local school district’s web page (or visit their office) or visit your state’s Department of Education webpage. You will find all the information you need at these sites.

I also recently graduated with a bachelors in Psychology, I had also thought about getting certified to teach 7-12. In my state the Psychology certification is lumped with Sociology and Anthropology. In addition to certain lower level psyc classes, intro to sociology and intro to anthropology are also required. You’ll have to take the Praxis I and II. You will have to take a bunch of courses in Secondary Education, probably about 20 credits, plus a semester of student teaching. In Pennsylvania, where I live, many colleges offer a “Teacher Education Program” which is a program designed for people that have a bachelors degree and want to go on to get a certification. Check out your state’s Department of Education’s website. I would assume that other states and colleges have similar programs.

I would check with your state’s Department of Education, or the college you graduated from to see what you need to do.

Good luck.
