How to Be a Home Economics Teacher
- 1). Enroll in a bachelor's degree program in family and consumer science, home economics, or a related subject.
- 2). Enroll in a teacher preparation program. Typically, home economics majors will enroll in a secondary education teacher preparation program, as most elementary schools do not offer home economics.
- 3). Obtain a teaching license. Every state requires teachers to be certified to teach in the public schools. Most states require a bachelor's degree as well as supervised teaching experience in order to obtain a license. Many states also have exams to pass before a license is issued.
