Education Requirements To Be A Teacher by James Mcovey 
Pubic school teachers need to be licensed but this is not a requirement in many private schools. 
Even though this is not an education requirement, you can pursue advanced degrees such as Master 
of Arts in Teaching. Join professional organizations and attend trainings and seminars. 
. If you want to become an elementary school teacher, you will be taking education courses and then 
take minor courses in the subject you choose such as mathematics, science or arts. You can also 
become a private tutor or put up your own school. 
To become a teacher, you must attain the education requirements, training, and licensure required. 
The first education requirement is to finish high school. Almost all colleges and universities require a 
high school diploma for admission. 
The next education requirement is to choose a college or university and take a bachelor?s degree 
from a teacher education program, most preferably one that is accredited by the National Council 
for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council. In many 
education programs, you will need to do student-teaching internship before you graduate. 
When you finish your undergraduate degree, the next 
step would be to get certification and licensure. To be 
a secondary school teacher, you will major in the 
subject you want to teach and take additional courses 
in education. If you choose this career path, a variety 
of job options are available. You can be a teacher in 
preschool, elementary, high school, college, or 
graduate schools as well as teach in special education 
schools or vocational education schools. You can get 
voluntary national certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards or seek 
certification for a variety of areas. 
Teachers are an essential part of educational institutions. For vocational education teachers, 
experience and training is important and some states provide licensure to those without bachelor?s 
degrees but show expertise in their field. 
To become competitive in the field and be more qualified for higher paying teaching jobs, advance 
your knowledge and experience in the field. If you graduate with a non-education degree and want 
to become a teacher, you can take alternative teacher certification programs
