What degrees does one need to be a teacher? Can you explain the degrees to me?

Answer 1

Well, since the passage of "No Child Left Behind," it has become much more difficult for people holding a simple bachelor's degree to find teaching jobs. One of the implications of the act is that teachers must be specifically educated in the subject they are teaching. It also further enforces the once flexible rule that, in order teach in the public school system, you must have state certification. All this sounds pretty logical, but in the end, it forces schools that desperately need teachers to turn away many candidates out of hand.

The course of education you should pursue depends on the grade level you are interested in teaching. If you want to teach primary school, you should major in education, with an emphasis on childhood development. If you would like to teach middle or high school, you should major in the subject you are interested in teaching, and take a couple of courses in education for good measure. Most colleges have programs geared toward teaching that will allow you to obtain state certification through your regular coursework. If you want to be a college professor, you'll have to stay in school through your late 20's earning a PhD. And then you'll have to get lucky.

Hope this helps!
