    First one.

    Second one implies you all somehow merged together (like station in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey) to form one single teacher

    If you mean every person in the group took up teaching as a profession, use #1.

    If you mean that the people in the group fused together like so much silly putty and merged in a single teacher, your answer is #2.

    The correct one is:
    1: We all became teachers.

    The 'singular' alternative would be:
    "Every one of us became a teacher."
