Secondary School Teacher
License Description
Secondary School Teachers usually teach in only one, two or three subject areas. They teach several classes every day, with the teaching method varying from formal lectures to free discussions, depending on the subject and the students' needs and aptitudes. The choice of method is usually left to the teacher. Besides giving classroom instruction, all school teachers plan and develop teaching materials, prepare and correct tests, maintain records and make out reports, consult with parents, and perform other duties as directed. Maintaining good relations with parents and the community is an important aspect of the teaching profession. Teachers must be willing to devote extra time to those students who need special help, and they must continually stay up-to-date on new educational materials and teaching techniques. Specialty areas of licensure include teaching of the humanities, science and mathematics, visual and performing arts and vocational education courses. Requirements: 1) Must have a Bachelor's degree; must include 18 semester hours of secondary education and specialized requirements. 2) Must successfully complete the required criminal background check. 3) Must secure a signed recommendation by the institutional certifying officer. 4) Other requirements/provisions as specified by State law or the State Board of Education.
