I teach primary in the US... know several teachers who have gone to the UK to teach... :)

Here are a couple of places to start your search for information... the first one is for a teacher exchange program. Not sure if you were looking for short term or considering a possible move:

Teach in or visit an American school - British Council - Fulbright (http://www.britishcouncil.org/learning-fulbright.htm)

USNEI-Teaching in the United States (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ous/international/usnei/us/edlite-teach-us.html)

As far as public schools are concerned, educators are certified within their state of residence. If you have selected a state in which to live, make an application to that state's education regulators. I am not aware that a teacher is required to be certified to teach in a private school, but most private schools seek certified teachers.
