Kindergarten teachers play a vital role in the development of children.
Kindergarten teachers introduce children to numbers, language, science, and social studies.
They use games, music, artwork, films, slides, computers, and other teaching technology to teach basic skills. All 50 states and the District of Columbia require public school teachers to be certified. All states require a bachelor s degree and completion of an approved teacher training program with a number of different subjects, education credits, and supervised practice teaching. Many states also require teachers to obtain a master s degree. Generally, 4-year colleges require students to wait until their sophomore year before applying for admission to teacher education programs.
