Teaching credential
While every state has its own legislated requirements for teaching
credentials qualification, all of them, under the No Child Left Behind
Act, require their public school teachers to have bachelor's degrees.

They
also require teaching candidates to have completed a specific number
of teaching courses, have supervised teaching or student teaching
classroom experience, and to pass various state teaching credentials
exams. The exams will depend on the teaching credentials for which the
candidates want to qualify.
The available
credentials qualify teachers to teach the early childhood, elementary,
and middle grades; those wanting to teach grades seven through twelve
will need secondary education subjects teaching credentials. Teachers
who wish to teach a single subject, like music or art--usually for all
grades from kindergarten through high school--can qualify for a special
subject teaching credentials.

Elementary School Credentials
The
teaching credentials for those at the elementary school level, from
grades one to six, are based more on general knowledge of several
subjects; middle and secondary school teaching credentials are given to
those who have an in-depth knowledge of one or two subjects and will
teach them exclusively.
Secondary School Credentials
Those
who are planning on a career in secondary education can prepare to
qualify for their teaching credentials either by majoring in education
and minoring in the subject which they want to teach, or majoring in the
subject they intend to teach and minoring in education.

Charter And Private School Requirements
Although
Charter Schools, technically, are public institutions, each of them is
run by a board of trustees who have the final say on the
qualifications required for its teachers.
There are states
which do not require their Charter School teacher to have teaching
credentials, while others hold their Charter Schools to the same
certification standards as their traditional public schools.
Private
schools, on the other hand, are not required have a credentialed
faculty, and some of them will still hire those without teaching
credentials as a way to save on staff salaries. The best way to
determine the policy of the private schools in your area is to contact
each one directly.
