What does it really mean to be an early childhood teacher?

Some states require that teachers pass exams on reading and math.
Some states require that teachers complete a specific amount of coursework in early childhood education.
Many states have minimum requirements for teachers. However, the requirements may vary between states.
Should I specialize in one subject or branch out?
Many students choose to concentrate on one subject (e.g. English History and Math) rather that branching into several subjects. It is not always necessary to become a specialist. For example, if you're considering becoming a physician, you could choose to specialize in either internal medicine or surgery. You can also become a general practice physician, with a focus in family medicine, neurology, psychiatry or gerontology. A business career could include sales, finance and marketing. You have the freedom to choose.
