Science in Education Degree and Programs
With national legislation such as No Child Left Behind, there has been a push to increase science and math scores in the public school system. Many school districts are dealing with a shortage of qualified science teachers. In addition to this general shortage, there is a greater effort to get female and minority students involved in science. Teachers with special training in science should find excellent job prospects for the foreseeable future.
Becoming a Science Teacher
Many science teachers earn a bachelor's degree in a specific scientific discipline, such as biology or physics, or an education degree with a specialty in science. A thorough knowledge of general science is expected, as teachers in elementary and middle schools are expected to teach a variety of science topics.Featured Science in Education Degree and Programs
