Tip of the Week

Once you choose to become a teacher, there are several different education paths you can take  depending on the focus and type of your teaching interests. When deciding on the best route for earning a teaching degree, keep in mind, variety may be to your advantage. Take a good assortment of pre-requisites in subjects like math, English, language, science, and liberal arts. This will come in handy when teaching in the elementary levels, and can also help you learn different perspectives of teaching and thought that you may have to drawn from when deciding the best way to teach your students. The variety of classes can also help you be more of an asset when talking to a potential employer when they find out you have a background in more than one subject.

Those who wish to teach in the secondary or higher levels will have to obtain a bachelors degree in the field of study in which they wish to teach, along with the required education courses.

All states are different in what degrees and certifications they require their teachers to earn, so make sure you verify your state's needs and qualification requirements.
