If you do not have an undergraduate degree, the bachelor's in teaching can prepare you for public and private school instruction. The curriculum in a teaching degree will depend on the grade level you want to instruct, with elementary education programs offering more general coursework than secondary education programs. Students learn about the history of the education system, child and adolescent psychology, and instructional methods for different subjects. A master's degree in teaching can provide initial teaching certification for those with other backgrounds; current teachers can use the degree to specialize or deepen their knowledge. The teaching doctorate is usually earned by people who want to work in education policy or individuals who want to instruct in colleges.
