History Teacher Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a history teacher in Tennessee?

To become a history teacher in Tennessee, you must earn a teaching license issued by the Tennessee Department of Education with a Social Studies endorsement at the appropriate grade band. This requires completing a state-approved educator preparation program, a student teaching placement, and passing the required Praxis content and pedagogy exams. Candidates apply for licensure through the Tennessee Educator Licensure system before accepting a classroom position.

How much do history teachers make in Tennessee?

History teachers in Tennessee earn a median of about $72,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,760 for the lowest 10% to over $102,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire history teachers in Tennessee?

Employers hiring history teachers in Tennessee right now include Fusion Academy, Youth Villages, and RePublic Schools, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's large urban public school districts, charter management organizations, and private independent schools across the state tend to post the most consistent openings throughout the hiring season.

Which Tennessee cities have the most history teacher jobs?

Memphis, Tennessee, and Franklin have the most history teacher openings in Tennessee right now. Nashville leads because Metro Nashville Public Schools is one of the largest district employers in the state, while Memphis and Knoxville reflect the size of Shelby County Schools and Knox County Schools, both of which maintain large secondary social studies departments and hire regularly each year.

Are there remote history teacher jobs in Tennessee?

Yes, but they're rare. History teaching is primarily a classroom-based role, so most positions require in-person instruction. About 0% of history teacher openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those that do exist are largely virtual school positions through Tennessee-authorized online academies or supplemental tutoring and curriculum development roles.

How can I get hired as a history teacher in Tennessee with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is completing a Tennessee-approved residency or alternative licensure program such as the Tennessee Residency program, which places candidates in paid classroom roles while they finish licensure requirements. Large districts like Metro Nashville Public Schools and Shelby County Schools actively recruit through these pathways. Candidates without a traditional preparation background can also transition from roles as instructional aides or substitute teachers, and holding a Praxis-passing score before applying gives a measurable edge.

Where can I find and apply to history teacher jobs in Tennessee?

You can find and apply to history teacher jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your endorsement level and preferred district or region, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
