For example, does a Math teacher major in and receive a "regular" Mathematics degree, or is it a slightly different degree for teachers...like a different version?

You actually get a double major. I have a major in education and a major in Spanish and then a minor in French. A regular math degree is the same thing except you cannot teach because you did not take education courses to teach you how to teach. I took all of the same Spanish classes that anyone getting just a degree in Spanish would take.

To be a teacher you have to be certified, meaning you have to graduate from a certification course of study. This usually take 1-2 yrs. But to be a math teacher, you will also need a math degree (BS). My suggestion would be to major in math at a 4 yr college/univ. then attend a school that has a teacher certification program. You can't be certified until you have a four year degree, and double majoring in math/education might help you get out of a certfication course quicker, but it is not the same as certification.

It depends on the school. I am currently going for a BSE in Math Education (Bachelor of Science in Education). The program does not require quite as many upper level math classes (about 4 less) as a straight BS (Bachelor of Science), but is still very math intensive. It also includes several education classes, about 1 per semester until the senior year at which point I have block field experience and then student teaching.

My degree in English Education was like a double major. Actually, it was more like a major in English with a minor in education. I taught with some TFA people who had majored in English. My course of study was more intensive than theirs and also covered subjects theirs did not, such as a couple of grammar courses. I had to earn more carnegie units in English than they did. I also had to have about 45 credits in education courses, 12 of which were my student teaching semester. They only had the student teaching semester and a couple of courses taught during that semester.
After that, I had to teach for three years to get my full certification.
Hope this helps.

A math teacher normally would get a BS in math education. However, nothing is ever normal in education.

i will graduate in could from SHSU. i will acquire a Bachelor of technology in kin and client Sciences with instructor Certification. you do no longer choose for a Masters of training with the intention to coach. when I complete my BS then i will pass lower back to college to artwork in direction of my masters degree. this facilitates you to in all hazard "pass up" the chain of command. With a masters you could grow to be a vital or practice on the faculty point.
