Schools What marks do you need to become a High School Teacher?

AI Thread Summary
To become a high school teacher in Ontario, Canada, undergraduate marks required for admission to education programs are generally not very high and are comparable to those needed for science or arts programs. Many universities offer "after" degrees, which are one or two-year programs that can be pursued after completing a different undergraduate degree. When applying for teaching positions, experience and teaching skills are often considered more important than academic marks.

To get a job, I don't know how heavily they weigh your marks. I think more weight is placed on experience and general teaching skill sets.

While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
