Illinois football coach Tim Beckman announced today the hiring of Marcus Berry as director of player personnel

http://www.fightingillini.com/.../021813aaa.html

Totally unrelated to the football:

Berry played football at West Virginia and graduated in 1990 with a degree in sports management.....before joining the coaching staff at Friendly High School in Ft. Washington, Md. Berry served 11 years at Friendly where he also taught history, health and physical education.

How do you teach in high school without an education degree?

I'm not sure how they do it in Maryland or Illinois, but here in Florida (or at least Broward County, Palm Beach, and Martin), all you need is a college degree in something, even if unrelated to what you teach.  I have no problem with that.  I'd rather have a high school math teach who has a degree in Mathematics than one that only has a degree in education.

in Illinois,  you need a teaching certificate to teach grade school or high school on a full time basis ,  which I believe can only be obtained if you have a bachelors or masters in Education.  Thats what I have  been told.    

Perhaps you can get a certifcate other ways,   I am not a teacher,  I just have alot of them in my family.

No.  You do not need an education degree to teach high school.  You need a degree in something plus an education certificate.  You can major in history, English, mathematics, chemistry, or whatever it is you wish to teach.  The education certificate has certain requisites, but you don't need to major in education.

Anyways, I hope it works out great!
