In becoming a biology teacher you will have to have the passion and love for science. You will also need to have the ambition to teach individuals. Life and the way it works is very interesting and important to know. I believe everyone should understand the concept of life in order to know how to create a better one for themselves. By becoming a biology teacher I am building a path for children that will positively impact them more than they would expect. To be a certified biology teacher after high school, you should receive a Bachelor of Science degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree in the appropriate field study. In order for high school students to be prepared in this study, they should take the following courses; biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, and even math. All of these courses are science disciplines that will benefit them tremendously in becoming a biology teacher, or any science major that they choose. They will see how all five of these course apply to each other in one way or another. These courses will also help them create a base and build a foundation for their college course work. …show more content…
For instance, an elementary school science teacher makes about $42,000 per year, a middle school Biology teacher makes about $43,000 per year, a high school teacher would make about $47,000 a year, and a college professor would make about $88,000 per year. If the educator works with special needs individuals then their salary is slightly higher than the average salaries. There are also many fields of biology that requires much more studies and receives higher salaries. For example, a Marine Biologist, a Biochemist, and Human Anatomy and Physiology to name a
