How are teachers hired? By the Board of Education or directly from the school they like to work at the principal?

Any experience remotely related to teaching should be featured on the resume. Other experience if there's not any teaching-related.

Research tenure in your state. About half of the states don't actually have true tenure.

So what should be put in a resume exactly? say a person is just starting out and what at least to become a sub for started and have ZERO experience I mean I have experience out of state here in Brazil I taught english as a second language and art for first and second graders and etc...but in America I would like to start off in a day care pre-school setting. But in America i have Zero experience nothing to put in my resume.

Your resume should include your education and your work experience. While you may not have experience with day care, you do have some work experience. That's what you put on your resume.

They should do like in Brazil Every two year or so have a competition test like if there is 30 opening for early childhood teacher they have a test and who score high on the test which test the person field of work gets the job and is tenured.

Look -- scoring high on a test doesn't mean a person will be a good/effective teacher. It simply means someone knows how to attain a high score on a test.

Honestly, I really wish you'd stop comparing the U.S. to Brazil. There are 50 states here, plus the District of Columbia, and each one has its own Department of Education, with its own requirements for licensure. Sorry if you don't like that -- but that's how it is and nothing you say here is going to change that. As I said in one of your other threads, if the Brazilian system is so much better, then you should stay there and teach.

We HAVE all that.

Unfortunately, that IS the case in many places. Again, if that's something you're not willing to deal with, you probably shouldn't plan to teach in the U.S.

Oh okay...true you have a point...but scoring high also mean that the person know the material that she plans on teaching...if her purpose was to become a teacher..but if it is someone that took the alternative root of course she can score high on a material and not know how to teach it...but i am talking about people who wants to become teacher and love what they do and etc..

The Brazilian education is getting better...I just don't want to stay here because I miss America since I grew up there...it my adopted parent sort of say since I was raised there...lived there 22 years of my life, I am 31 now..I went to America when I was 4 years old...anyways...I am currently living in Brazil for almost 5 years now for personal issues and add up continue my degree here which in America I was doing Education on Early Childhood..And I am finishing up here in Brazil which is almost like America degree just lacking few material on the curriculum but that I will see what I can do to get my degree completed there and blah blah...the point is...I wish I had the desire to stay in Brazil in a country that I was born in...but my heart is not here...I miss America to much... I am not asking for you to understand that..

I just think that things should be different in America...in the education system because as far as I know the education system there is getting worse...Education there is losing quality.
I am just concern.
