YEAR ONE
Overview
Elementary school teachers provide young students with the support and guidance needed to excel academically,
professionally, and personally. To work in a public school, students must obtain licensure. Each state has different
requirements for obtaining a teacher’s license—most require a Baccalaureate Degree in Education or Elementary
Education, a teaching internship, and the passing of a state-administered exam.
