Many educators choose to teach in areas where they have specific interest, experience, or talent. For instance, an elementary school instructor might have a teaching specialization in art, music, physical education, or reading. At the middle and secondary school level, nearly all educators have a teaching specialization in one subject such as mathematics, science, language and literacy, or social science. Special education teachers serve students with disabilities at all grade levels. Some teachers choose a career path that leads to teaching pre-kindergarten children (Early Childhood Education), educational administration, or a specialization in curriculum, assessment, or instructional design.

Teaching academic skills to adults is another way that educators serve their communities. This might involve teaching English as a second language (ESL) or providing remedial or literacy education.

In businesses, educators specialize in job training and executive education. Within that specialty, they may focus on electronic learning, classroom teaching, or subject area such as management training or leadership development.
