Art Teachers

Advancement Prospects

As elementary and secondary art teachers acquire experience or additional education, they can expect higher wages and more responsibilities. Teachers with leadership skills and an interest in administrative work may advance to serve as principals or supervisors, though the number of these positions is limited and competition is fierce. Another move may be into higher education, teaching art classes at a college or university. For most of these positions, additional education is required. Other common career transitions are into the business world, such as moving to advertising, graphic design, or other related fields.
