Elementary Education Career:
from:Sometimes known as “early childhood education” an elementary education career is the teaching of children from kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade. People who choose this career are those who adore children and hope to make a difference in the lives of the ones they teach. These folks enjoy sharing what they know, understand a variety of subjects, are passionate about their work, and can make learning fun.
Teachers working in an elementary education career often do more than teach. They also work as counselors and disciplinarians as well as serve as role models for both parents and student. Many spend years serving in elementary education often while continuing their studies to advance their careers.
An elementary school educator usually teaches all of the basic studies including math, reading, science and geography. Some will specialize in subjects such as art or music in order to move from one grade level to another.

Those seeking to pursue an elementary education career in the private sector must obtain at minimum a certificate to teach.
