What degree do you need to be a teachers aid?

There's no single degree required to be a teacher's aide. Requirements vary significantly depending on the location (state, country), the specific school district, and even the grade level and subject matter.

Many teacher's aides are hired with a high school diploma or GED, but some districts may prefer or require some college coursework, especially for specialized roles. An associate's degree or bachelor's degree is *not* typically a requirement, though it might be advantageous in securing a position or for advancement.

Often, the most important qualifications are experience working with children and relevant skills like patience, empathy, and classroom management abilities. Specific certifications or training related to special education might also be required or preferred for certain roles.
