How many years of college are needed to become a first grade teacher?

Answer 1

Honestly, this question depends on the state that you are going to be working in. Every state has its own requirements. Most states require that a teacher for elementary school has a BA degree and have a license and credencials to teach. If you are going to work at a public school, you must be licensed. Most private schools do not require a teacher to be licensed, but qualifications will have to be met according to that school. You also have to undergo a teacher training program that may vary in order to work at a public school. Therefore, working at a private school greatly varies by each school, but to be a teacher at a public school you are looking at a possible minimum of four years of college.

Answer 2

Many school districts will hire an elementary school teacher who has received a bachelor's degree after four years of college. Some districts prefer teachers who go on to spend another year to receive a master's degree, whether immediately or after a few years of teaching experience. Either way, it is preferable that elementary education be the major focus of the curriculum.

Answer 3

You need to attend a 4 year college or university and get a BA in child development, early childhood education, or education ( depends on your state on what the degree is in) and complete work on a teaching credential as well as pass state testing, a background check, and do an internship/student teaching.
