As an elementary education teacher, you can watch, shape and nurture these rapidly developing minds and bodies - and make a lasting difference that carries over to their middle school, high school, college and adult years. How do you get started with this promising career? An online Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education will generally qualify you to teach elementary grades 1 through 8 (be sure to check for individual teaching certification or licensure requirements as they vary state by state within the public school system).
Reading, Writing and Math are the Big Three of elementary education. That means it's important for teachers to trained to develop the skills of children, screen for individual needs and learning issues, and teach a host of subjects. On a broader level this means helping your students achieve high academic standards. On a day-to-day basis, it can mean developing lesson plans, breaking students into small workgroups, giving out worksheets and math games, or incorporate art into a book reading project.
