i taught a High school graphic design class for one semester. it was a new program, the school didn't have any teachers qualified to teach so i got hired to implement the program. it was great. i'd love to do it again or teach permenantly.

Do you still need a teaching degree to teach design? or is experience enough?

for High school you need a degree, for college you generally need a masters and at least 5 years of work experience and killer portfolio

I think it depends on the school. Where I teach it's more based on what you can bring to the table than a degree..
Anyone else?

Our college didnt have any 3D tutors, so we had some dude in the year above teach us, then some guys in our year then teached the year below!
not the best, but it was good to get a start at 3DMax.
so im guessing you dont need any fancy qualifications, just good knowledge of what you do!

Is teaching design different from teaching anything else? Because one of my friends is studying to be a teacher and you have to do around 3-4 years of school, followed by teachers college. It's probably better if you have a degree, but I'm not completely sure how that works.

I have an AA in multimedia (2 year degree)
I only teach part time. I think it all depends on the school, like I said.
I know, if I were to try and teach where I went to school I would have to have a masters.
To me, it's all about the work, not a degree..

i totally agree about experience... i mean a degree won't help you in answers concerning about real world things that happen in design

I've taught for 4 years, 3 at Maryland Institute College of Art, 1 year at Parsons.
I have a master's and experience, it's still a disillussioning experience sometimes.

canada...
high school (BEd, (4 year degree plus teachers college))
college (usually need several years experience, decent portfolio school is not really a factor most teachers are part-time and work in the industry)
University (Masters or phd, & experience).

teaching design software is not = to teaching design.
