To teach within the public school system in the United States at the pre-K through high school levels, you must have a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program from a regionally accredited college or university and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years as a full-time student, provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university.

Early childhood is considered to be pre-K through fourth grade. Education is approximately fifth grade through high school. Thus, if the degree specifically indicates elementary education you can figure fifth grade through eighth grade. There are some variations depending on the specific school system.
