<p>what are the required majors to become a high school teacher and coach? i want to teach history or math while coaching a sport, preferably football, soccer, track</p>
<p>I don’t think that you need to degree to coach anything, at least at my school you don’t. You only have to know how to play the sport, and you need a bachelors degree in a specific field. Such as, Math in Secondary Education, or Secondary Education of History. </p>
<p>Generally you would major in one of the following:
Math Education
Social Studies Education
History Education
History with a minor in Education
Math with a minor in Education</p>
<p>It just depends on how the state/university writes it. Some schools offer a coaching minor, but I don’t believe that’s required anywhere. </p>
You’ll need state certification to teach. What exactly that entails depends on the state… you can find the info on your state Board of Ed website.
Coaching, to the best of my knowledge, doesn’t have any formal requirements.
