A typical day involves preparing and delivering lectures on topics ranging from ancient civilizations to postwar history, drawing on extensive knowledge in history and archeology (importance 5.0, level 6.5). They facilitate classroom discussions using strong oral expression abilities (importance 4.8, level 5.0) and evaluate student work through written assessments. Much time is spent analyzing historical data and information (importance 4.7, level 5.8) while updating their knowledge base through current literature and professional development. They maintain detailed student records, hold office hours for academic advising, and continuously revise curricula to reflect evolving historical scholarship. Administrative tasks include grading examinations, selecting textbooks, and documenting student progress using various technology tools including Microsoft Office software and Google Docs.
Successful History Teachers combine strong Social orientation (6.95 RIASEC score) with significant Investigative tendencies (5.41), reflecting their dual focus on teaching and research. They excel in written and oral expression (both at level 5.0) and demonstrate exceptional dependability (importance 5.0) in managing academic responsibilities. These individuals possess intellectual curiosity and integrity, thriving on continuous learning and knowledge updating. Their strong reading comprehension (importance 4.2, level 4.8) and critical thinking abilities (importance 3.9, level 3.9) enable them to synthesize complex historical information and present it effectively to diverse student populations.
History teaching shows low automation risk due to the high importance of human interaction in education and the complex analytical work involved. The core activities of interpreting historical information (importance 4.4, level 5.7), facilitating discussions, and thinking creatively (importance 4.5, level 6.0) require human judgment and social connection that cannot be easily automated. While technology tools like online learning platforms may enhance delivery methods, the fundamental need for human expertise in historical analysis and student mentorship remains strong.

--- PROSE FIELDS ---
ROLE SUMMARY:
Postsecondary History Teachers are academic professionals who teach courses in human history and historiography at colleges and universities. They combine deep expertise in historical knowledge and archeology with advanced pedagogical skills to deliver lectures, facilitate discussions, and guide student learning. These educators engage in both teaching responsibilities and often contribute to historical research and scholarship within their specialized areas.
DAY IN THE LIFE:
A typical day involves preparing and delivering lectures on topics ranging from ancient civilizations to postwar history, drawing on extensive knowledge in history and archeology (importance 5.0, level 6.5). They facilitate classroom discussions using strong oral expression abilities (importance 4.8, level 5.0) and evaluate student work through written assessments. Much time is spent analyzing historical data and information (importance 4.7, level 5.8) while updating their knowledge base through current literature and professional development. They maintain detailed student records, hold office hours for academic advising, and continuously revise curricula to reflect evolving historical scholarship. Administrative tasks include grading examinations, selecting textbooks, and documenting student progress using various technology tools including Microsoft Office software and Google Docs.
WHO THRIVES:
Successful History Teachers combine strong Social orientation (6.95 RIASEC score) with significant Investigative tendencies (5.41), reflecting their dual focus on teaching and research. They excel in written and oral expression (both at level 5.0) and demonstrate exceptional dependability (importance 5.0) in managing academic responsibilities. These individuals possess intellectual curiosity and integrity, thriving on continuous learning and knowledge updating. Their strong reading comprehension (importance 4.2, level 4.8) and critical thinking abilities (importance 3.9, level 3.9) enable them to synthesize complex historical information and present it effectively to diverse student populations.
CAREER ENTRY:
Entry requires extensive preparation (Job Zone 5) with 69.6% holding doctoral degrees and 30.4% holding master's degrees according to education distribution data. Aspiring history teachers typically complete undergraduate studies in history or related fields, followed by graduate education emphasizing both historical research and pedagogical training. Many begin as graduate teaching assistants, gaining classroom experience while completing their advanced degrees. The emerging task of evaluating faculty members suggests additional administrative responsibilities may be expected as careers progress.
CAREER TRAJECTORY:
History Teachers often advance from adjunct instructor positions to assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor ranks within academic institutions. Career progression typically involves developing specialized expertise in particular historical periods or regions, as evidenced by job titles like African History Professor and Economic History Teacher. Many pursue tenure-track positions that combine teaching with significant research obligations, potentially leading to department chair roles or administrative positions within educational institutions. Some may transition to related academic positions in museums, archives, or policy organizations.
MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
According to BLS OEWS May 2025 data, 18,790 History Teachers are employed nationwide with a median annual wage of $83,820, ranging from $48,410 to $162,160 (10th to 90th percentile). Geographic variation is substantial, with California offering the highest wages at $127,170 compared to Arkansas at $47,860, representing a 2.66x difference. Employment is concentrated almost exclusively in educational services, reflecting the academic nature of these positions. The relatively stable demand is tied to enrollment trends in higher education and the continuing importance of historical literacy in liberal arts curricula.
AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
History teaching shows low automation risk due to the high importance of human interaction in education and the complex analytical work involved. The core activities of interpreting historical information (importance 4.4, level 5.7), facilitating discussions, and thinking creatively (importance 4.5, level 6.0) require human judgment and social connection that cannot be easily automated. While technology tools like online learning platforms may enhance delivery methods, the fundamental need for human expertise in historical analysis and student mentorship remains strong.
