Teacher Education for Specific Subjects: General Info
While most teachers specializing in a specific subject will teach in the junior, high school or post-secondary level it is possible to work within a lower level of education as well. Media center specialists, computer science teachers, ESL teachers and health teachers are examples of positions that can be had within the kindergarten or elementary level. Having an education in more than one subject can also improve your chance of employment as teachers are often asked to cross over into another subject area as the need arises. The job outlook is looking good for those wanting a career in education according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov. They also share what to expect in the area of pay. Post-secondary chemistry teachers earn a median annual pay of $70,100, economics teachers earn just over $73,000, geography teachers make approximately $63,000 and art/music teachers earn $58,250.
