What a teacher actually does
Teaching is lesson planning, delivery, assessment and the pastoral work around it, plus a growing amount of digital content creation and learning-management-system admin.
How to become one — the qualification route
School teaching in India generally requires a B.Ed plus the relevant eligibility test (CTET/state TET) for government roles; subject expertise and a postgraduate degree matter more at senior-secondary and college level.
Regulated professions have statutory entry requirements. Always confirm current rules with the relevant council or university before enrolling anywhere.
Skills the role runs on
Which online courses actually help
The upskilling that changes what you can teach and where: instructional design, digital-classroom tools, communication and public speaking, and a second subject specialisation. Instructional design in particular moves teachers into corporate L&D roles.
