I want to teach art in Chicago in the public school system, what certification do I need?

Question

I already have a B.A. in Graphic Arts. I have been teaching at an art center on and off last year and this upcoming year. I am registered in DCFS system.

Answer 1

You may be able to go on line to the Illinois Department of Education and find out what kind of license is needed to teach visual arts in the state. There are many art teachers who also have degrees in an art specialty but the pedagogy element is what you are lacking.
