While Louisiana excels in other areas with programs such as Jump Start and CLASS, it suffers from a shortage of teachers in the art, music, science, social studies, special education, language, and career & technical education disciplines. The U.S. Department of Education’s Teacher Shortage Areas Nationwide Listings Report shows grade levels in Louisiana from pre-k to 12th are in need of well-trained teachers.
Despite this need, teaching requirements vary by state, which can confuse students who aim to become educators. To combat this problem and help students plan for the future, TeachingDegree.org published a series of guides detailing the process of obtaining a teaching degree and certificate in each state.
In order to find ways to finance their education in Louisiana, students may also be interested in our guide to financial aid. Both guides are valuable resources for anyone navigating their education degree choices.
