The qualifications for school teachers in the various states are set by the?

Question

A) county boards B) congress of the united states C) state legislatures

Answer 1

Teacher certification is handled by the individual state departments of education.  Accredited colleges and universities recommend graduates for certification and the state issues a certificate after the teacher candidate pays a fee and fills out the proper forms.

Answer 2

Each state has a department of education, which sets the standards for certification for teachers within the state.  That power is granted by the state legislature.

Answer 3

The State Department of Education- but most are the same.  They require a bachelors degree in education- elementary or secondary, and a teachers license.  To be fully licensed, most states require that you pass the Praxis teacher exam.  There are a few states (I know Texas is one of them) that require that you take a history for their state (i.e. Texas History).

Answer 4

State departments of education, via the authority granted by the State legislature.
