Secondary school teacher at a public school must be licensed with a bachelor’s degree and by completing an approved teacher education program. Secondary school teachers at private schools  do not need to be licensed but are required to have a   bachelor’s degree to teach. For hard to fill positions,   some states offer alternative licensing programs to  secondary school teachers. Understanding a   student’s   needs, the ability to motivate them and   communicate   well, are important qualifications for   secondary   school  teachers. Job prospects are best in   rural and   undesirable school districts as well as   those teaching   mathematics, science or bilingual   education.
Secondary school teachers play an important role for students during their formative years by fostering the intellectual and social development of their students. They provide their students with an environment and the proper tools to develop into responsible adults.
