Could I become a professor in college without ever teaching anywhere else, like in elementary or high school?We Answered:
There is very little connection between teaching K-12 and teaching in a post-secondary situation. Very few professors (outside the Faculty of Education) ever teach K-12.In order to teach History in a university or college, you would need Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees in History. That is eight years of post-secondary (four, two and two), but unless you're really, really rich you would need to take some time between each degree to work and earn money. You would also need to have several articles published in academic journals, and you would need to continue researching and publishing throughout your career.
Once you have a PhD you'll start as an "Instructor" who gets paid very little (like, $30,000 annually) and has crappy classes and a bad schedule. Then, you work your way up to Associate Professor and Professor. The more you publish research and present at conferences, the faster you'll advance. Once you're a full professor you can earn upwards of $100,000 annually.

How is Reading First working in your elementary school and how long has it been in place?We Answered:
Did you know that there are investigations to why Reading First is being marketed to schools?"Inspector General's Report Jeopardizes Reading First Program"
""WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Education Office of the Inspector General's (IG) report on Reading First outlines unethical actions by several individuals who violated the intent and spirit of the Reading First statute in an ongoing and systematic manner. These actions have damaged the integrity of the department. It is to its credit that they have issued this report. Now it is time to implement its findings.
The IG's report directly quotes individual communications to establish that there was a plan to direct the outcomes of independent panels, stack those panels with those who already had formed a bias, and promote specific reading programs while eliminating others. Specifically the report finds that the department:
-- Developed an application package that obscured the requirements of the statute
-- Took action with respect to the expert review panel process that was contrary to the balanced panel composition envisioned by Congress
-- Intervened to release an assessment review document without the permission of the entity that contracted for its development
-- Intervened to influence a state's selection of reading programs and
-- Intervened to influence reading programs being used by local education agencies after the application process was complete. "

What can a future elementary school English teacher go to grad school for?We Answered:
Most practicing teachers get their Master's Degrees in education. Within that there are sub-specialties. Usually you can choose from curriculum, administration or something like technology or special education. You can get a Master's in anything and they will count it, but it makes the most sense (and is easier) to get it in education. I'm not sure where you live, but in the US, there are no "Elementaty English" teachers. If you teach Elementary, you teach everything. The only exception is a reading specialist. But you have to have experience in the regular classroom to get that job. Are you coming out of college with your teaching degree? If not, you'll have to get a Master's in Teaching to get your credentials.Eugene Said:
Is becoming a high school teacher with a elementary education degree possible?We Answered:
You will need to check with the state board of education on the type of licenses/certificates that are available. You may be able to receive a comprehensive - K to 12 - license/certificate, but each state is different. If this is not available, you should be able to receive from the state a license/certificate which is good for a variety of subjects, as long as you complete the proper college course work for each one.
