How do I become an art teacher after elementary teacher?
Hey. I'm in my last semester before I get an early childhood education degree (elementary school teacher), but people keep telling me I should be an art teacher. It's true. I love art. Now what should I do? What degree do I need to become an art teacher in elementary school? An art education degree? Is that another four years!?! Can I get a Master's degree in art education and teach art?
It depends on your state.
I live in MO & if you have a teaching degree in one subject & you want to teach another subject you have to get certified by taking a mastery test in that subject.
One of the teachers in our building did this about 2 years ago & is very happy.
Master's Degree would also work but is a lot more schooling & a lot more expensive. Mastery test is just over $150ish
