Thread title's fairly self-explanatory. I live in San Diego, California, and would like to know the general requirements one might need to teach a film class, preferably at a high school level. I'm sure the prerequisites aren't ironclad/the exact same everywhere you go, so even if it's just some general info, it would be of much help and much appreciated.

A degree in film? A teaching certificate? Do they even have film classes in high school?

What qualifications do you have to teach?

I know in Canada, you generally need to have a university degree in order to get into teachers college. Then you need to go through teachers college, and find a school with a budget for a film course.
College is a way different story, I took TV and New Media productions, and all of my teachers were from the industry. None of them had any teaching experience before they became profs and none of them took any sort of teaching courses, save the dean and head of my course.
Actually, my graphics teacher was hired right of school to teach, as his teacher died at the end of the term.
Why not go talk to the Film department at your school? They'll tell you exactly what you need and what programs they offer to get you there.
