What do elementary school teachers major in?

Elementary school teachers major in elementary education in their undergraduate or graduate studies. For example, you could major in elementary education for your bachelor’s degree. Or you could major in science for your bachelor’s degree, then go on to get a master’s degree in elementary education. Unlike secondary school teachers who usually focus on one subject, elementary school teachers have to plan and teach lessons on multiple subjects. In your degree programs, you should take classes in math, science, history, literacy, art, and physical fitness as well as the traditional education and pedagogy classes.
