Technology Education teachers receive the same university training and teacher licensing as teachers in other core subjects. Additionally, they take specialized courses in technology subjects.

Technology Education teachers usually:

1. Earn a 4-year bachelor’s degree*
in Technology Education. This includes courses in which you:

• Learn about technologies and technology systems;
• Have practice teaching experience;
• Learn the scientific foundations for teaching, learning and student maturation;
• Learn the techniques, methods and strategies for teaching and working with students; and
• Learn ways to measure and evaluate student achievement and progress
  

2. Demonstrate knowledge and skill through testing in the areas of:

• language arts, math and science by the beginning of the junior year**;
• scientific foundations of education by the end of college**; and
• technology as subject matter by the end of college.

* There are alternatives if you already have a bachelor’s degree.
