Certified Teachers?

*Should elementary schools have certified business education teachers teaching technology classes and career exploration?*

Most teachers have at least one technology class in college and might attend technology workshops once they obtain a job. However, they do not learn all of the aspects of technology in order to teach career cluster exploration and technology classes. I believe it is very important to have certified teachers in the classroom to teach both of these subject areas. I am by no means saying that teachers in these type of situations now are not successful. I believe you can be very knowledgeable about these areas, but I think it is only appropriate and official that you be certified.
There would have to be some changes made in the business education curriculum. Our major only certifies us with grades 6-12. So, we would have to expand the curriculum to accommodate the previous grades or have an add on certificate to give an option of teaching those grades.
