[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is the way to go.  Undergrad degree in a subject, then master's for teaching.  The undergrad degree will open her options, both in teaching or if she ever leaves.  The master's degree will bump her to a higher pay scale.  Also, master's programs contain good cohorts: high-achieving, focused people with interesting backgrounds and experience.[/quote]
how does this work for elementary teaching? I get it for high school/middle school where you are teaching a subject. She's only interested in elementary school and doesn't have any particular interest or talent in the "specials" (art or music or phy ed)[/quote]
Other PPs have answered but also, Psychology with math minor, and she could be the math resource teacher for her grade or school.  Or English, and she will have a deeper background in the literature she's preparing her students to study after they move on from her class.  Film Studies, and she will have technical and creative skills that will come in very handy in an elementary school.  Biology or history or geography to give her the studies or science background that many elementary teachers lack.  Also, tell her not to rule out teaching middle school.  Certification for elementary often includes at least the first year of middle school, sometimes the second, and some teachers to their surprise, fall in love with that age group.[/quote]
