- vonmoltke 11y agoNo you don't. You only need a Bachelor's degree, state certification, and certification that you are qualified to teach the subject area at the level you want. The Education degree exists for people who want to teach but do not want to delve into the depths of a particular subject that a degree in it would require.
- protomyth 11y ago"certification that you are qualified to teach the subject area at the level you want" According to the data, they are giving waivers so you don't need the certification. This happens at rural and poor schools most often.

Education is as much a specific subject as any other (its not the subject most people are teaching, but its the body of knowledge of teaching itself, which also of no small importance to teaching, independent of subject being taught.)
