What are good colleges/universities for becoming a teacher?

I am a junior this year, and I am taking a class called Exploring Teaching in school. I really enjoy it, and very much want to be a teacher. Because of my year in school, I am looking at colleges, and I was wondering which were the best, in your opinion, to go to in order to learn to be a teacher. I want to be a science (mainly Chemistry) teacher at the high school level.

    Okay things to consider- Do I want to go to a prestigious school? If so then you need to go to a good name school but honestly teaching's on the low end of the pole so it really doesn't matter. Dont' waste all your money. I have a friend who finally got licensed and she spent thoussannnnnddddssss at this big named university and I just laughed b/c my roommate that got certified at a little university is teaching the same place and she paid wayyyyyy less. It's TEACHING so just make sure I don't know the classes are good but this is not a big deal b/c it's teaching (well I guess I shouldn't say that b/c if you need help with like stage fright, speaking skills, and other stuff of communication then you'll need good tips so that will mean good schooling.)

You will find th eusual suspects -- Ivy League schools, Great Private Schools, the top Public Universities, etc.
