John -
My grandmother was born in 1890. She graduated from high school, went to summer school at UVA, getting a teaching certificate, and began teaching in the fall. She taught for only a year, because she married, and married women were not allowed to teach.

Subject: 1920 Virginia teaching certification requirements.


My Grandmother taught elementary school in Stuarts Draft, Augusta 
County, in 1920 plus and minus a few years.

I do not know how much formal education that she had received growing 
up.  I was wondering if anyone might know what the education and other 
requirements were that were in effect at that time in order for someone 
to teach school.

Thank you

John
