I want to be a teacher, but there is no English Education degree. The Master of Arts in Teaching is teacher training at its most professional. While a student used to get a combined English and Education degree, she now gets a B.A. degree in English, and then proceeds to apply to graduate school for teacher training. A person with a B.A. in English has strong content area preparation.
