Aim: Introducing professionalization of the teaching profession specificity and the stages of this process in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the institutionalization of education for this professional group. Methods: An analysis of source and journalistic materials directly related to the discussed issues. Results: A reconstruction of the standards of teacher education in the initial stages of its development, with a view to their cultural and social context, which was not only their background, but also largely determined their course. Conclusion: Education and training constituted a superior value for a large part of the society and a group of political decision-makers. Education was perceived as a specific embodiment of the ideal of the American Republic and a guarantor of its prosperity. However, the policy of educating teachers implemented in practice, including organizational solutions adopted by universities that introduced this education in the second half of the nineteenth century, indicate a lack of coherence between declarations and reality. On the other hand, the social and cultural changes in the United States after World War I and the related change in the perception of the role of teachers, favored the emergence of pedagogy as a research discipline, which can be considered the culmination of the professionalization process of this profession in the USA.
