Texas Teacher Certification Info

In order to become a public school teacher in Texas, you must have a bachelor's degree, complete a teacher preparation program and pass an exam in your subject area. Though a master's degree in education is not required to teach, many teachers in Texas find completing a Master of Education program beneficial to their instruction, as Texas state initiatives include goals like preventing dropouts, improving adult education and providing early childhood education. Teachers with master's degrees in education may be better prepared to help the state achieve these initiatives because of their more specialized subject training. Further, the Texas Education Agency requires teachers to log hours of continuing education, and courses in a Master of Education program may fulfill some of these requirements.
