My wife was a licensed teacher in Thailand and I am a licensed teacher in the state of Maryland. The requirements for applying vary by state. You can find information my using Google with the following terms "department of education," "teacher certification," and the state in which you shall reside.

In Maryland for example, one must pass Praxis I general skills test, have at least 6 credits in Reading classes, regardless of subject area, a course-by-course evaluation of one's college transcript, etc.

Feel free to message me if you have any other questions about education in America.

I was wondering about this as well though my wife is not planning to work in the U.S. as of right now.

She had a co-teacher who immigrated to the U.S. and got a job teaching in an inner-city Baltimore public school. She was so overwhelmed by how much more unrespectable the students in the U.S. were. For instance when would write something on the chalk board on of the other students would come behind and erase her work. I think if my wife were to work here I would prefer it be in a Catholic Parochial school.

I teach in Baltimore city with your wife's friend. I probably know her, as I've met many of the Filipino teachers across the city.

My wife had taken a job at a day care center shortly after arriving. No certification required, though she could have received higher wages with it.

We live in Tennessee. My wife was a middle school and elementary school teacher for 15 years in the Philippines, and then a principal of an elementary school. Her school while principal received the highest scores in her district on the achievement tests for all of Metro Manila.

When she came to the USA, she was required in Tennessee to complete the Praxis I and Praxis II tests. She failed to pass these tests by only a couple of points. It costs a lot of money to take these tests. She would have to try again later when we can afford it again.

My wife worked as a substitute teacher here in a smaller town called Bristol, and she did very well. But here in Knoxville they require her to take this course to substitute teach, and she did that, and it was very difficult.
