Teaching Certificate
Once you receive your four-year degree, most states require that you also complete a fifth year of schooling to get your teacher's certification for a public school system. The requirements for certificate programs vary from state to state, but completing this program, some student teaching, and passing a final test, usually called the Praxis test, are mandatory for licensure to be able to teach any subject. National certification programs are also available so you can be licensed to teach anywhere in the country. You can't take a certification program until you have achieved your bachelor's degree. Licensure can be to teach a certain grade or a specific subject, such as phys ed, according to AllEducationSchools.com.

Many school districts require teachers to continue their education after they are hired, and some require a master's degree within five years. A master's degree is also usually required to teach gym and physical education at the college level. At the elementary and high school levels, pay scales for all public school teachers generally reward a higher level of education. The difference in salary between earning a bachelor's degree and a master's degree can be $5,000 per year or more to start.
Tip
Many school districts not all of them require teachers to continue their education after they are hired some pay for their education.
