How do I get a certificate after being away from teaching for about 25 years?
too vague – here is what is needed to answer correctly:
Were you certificated before? All states have a method for recertification.
which state? every state has different rules on this.
until I know more: go to your states website, look for credentialing rules.
If you have never been certificated, then its: credentialing program, tests and student teaching.

depending on the state you live in you will need to get a Credential. It is possible to teach while earning your credential ( some call it an internship, but it is difficult). You can get a certiifcate in 2 yrs or less and start subbing in the meantime…. try to get a long-term sub position at a school you would want to teach at.
Bottom line… there are many different routes to teaching…. you need to go see a counselor at the Education office of your nearby University.
