What You'll Do: Teachers at the fundamental levels of schooling may choose to teach a wide variety of subjects or specialize in one. Your specific duties will very depending on whether you are an art teacher, a music teacher, or a physical education teacher, for example. However, most teachers will have to engage in the following activities: preparing lesson plans, giving and grading assignments and tests, attending school meetings, lecturing and giving demonstrations, enforcing classroom and school rules, meeting with guardians to discuss their children's progress, and serving as a general supervisor and protector.

Elementary school teachers are usually employed by public schools or private schools. You'll work during regular school hours and also enjoy the same vacations as students, which means an average of ten months on and two months off. Most first to fifth grade teachers work full-time hours, but staying after hours at the school for faculty meetings, parent-teacher meetings, and extracurricular activities is pretty common. Grading and lesson preparation is generally done at home.

Education and Training: A bachelor's degree in elementary education is required of all elementary school teachers. If you have a graduate teaching degree or graduate degree in another field such as psychology, you may have an edge against the competition. Any teaching experience such as tutoring that is gained from an internship or temporary position will also make you a more attractive candidate for hire.

In addition to a degree and work-related experience, teachers in the United States must be certified in the state they wish to teach in. Getting certified usually involves passing a standardized exam and possibly a teaching-style demonstration.

The Future: The elementary school teaching profession is expected to grow at about 17% through 2020. Growth will vary by region.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Elementary School Teachers in the U.S. range from $31,700 to $76,400, with the average median annual wage hitting $52,800 in 2011 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
