Online Education Degrees

Teachers can become licensed in their states through one of two routes, both of which involve teacher education programs to guide and prepare qualified educators. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) is the nation’s primary organization for the establishment of accredited teacher education programs. To become licensed as a teacher, students must learn about pedagogy, methodology, and technique to provide them with a comprehensive knowledge of teaching.

Some teacher education programs are available after the completion of a Bachelor’s degree. Others are offered by nationally accredited schools of education and are incorporated into the undergraduate program, where students prepare to become teachers as they pursue their Bachelor’s degree, by incorporating classes on the philosophy of education, psychology of learning, methodology, and technology in the classroom into their courses of study. Graduating from an accredited program is not required, but it may make fulfilling requirements easier.
