Answer 2

Hello! I am not certain about California universities and colleges, but what I can advise is that you review your teaching history with these factors in mind. In order to be a principal, you must possess a valid teacher license, possess or be willing to obtain an Educational Leadership Certificate, and you must have a Master's Degree. To be an algebra teacher, you must have a bachelor degree or higher in advanced mathematics. If you wish to teach high school math (grades 7-12), your degree must be valid in your particular area of interest (Math) but with an emphasis in education. If you were to teach younger grades, your degree would be in education, whether elementary or mid-level grades. I hope this helps; the laws and specifications for licensure vary by state; consult your Department of Education for exact advice just to be certain. Should you need any more help, just ask! Good Luck!

Answer 3

Honestly, you can have a degree in almost anything -- then you take the courses for teaching credentials. If you want to focus on math, then you should concentrate there. Many people just stick with a Liberal Arts focus.

To be a principal, you probably should finish the Bachelors and get a Masters in Education Administration or something similar.
