Laura does not name all her teachers. She does refer to Miss Bedal in Walnut Grove (Laura spelled her name "Beadle"), to Eliza Jane Wilder, a Mr. Clewett, and a Mr. Owens in De Smet.
Those four people were real people, and did act as Laura's teachers at some point or another. She would have also had a teacher or teachers in Burr Oak, and possibly others she did not name.

∙ 12y agoIn the book, for dramatic effect, Laura begins to teach two months before her sixteenth birthday, but that was "literary license". Her actual first teaching certificate, signed by George Williams, was issued in December of 1883, making her sixteen - almost seventeen - when she began teaching. It can be seen in the book "Laura's Album" by William Anderson, available online and through the Little House Bookstore, in Mansfield, Missouri. The reproduction of her first teaching certificate in Little Town on the Prairie is dated 1882 - but the real one is dated 1883.
Laura Ingalls Wilder began teaching at the age of 15. She taught in a one-room schoolhouse near De Smet, South Dakota in the 1880s.
