I have no teaching experience at all besides some volunteering.

I do have my bachelors degree in legal studies.

I have taken the Elementary Education Exam and have not passed.

I will be taking it again in three weeks.

Do I need credits in Education in order to be certified to teach in Florida or having my bachelors in Legal studies alone is good enough along with my certificate in Elementary Education?
