starting now! 3 weeks ago

I had my first field experience in education last Thursday! Twice a week, I get to go to a public high school in the area and observe/help out teachers.



Untitled 3 weeks ago

Currently I am in school for Web Design and Multimedia. It’s only an AA program, but I plan on moving onto a BA when I am complete. I will have to research my options and figure out what steps will need to be taken to be able to teach.



In the process 1 month ago

I started school nearly 2 years ago and I will be an Elementary Education teacher once my schooling is concluded. I am realizing my dream, no matter the low pay, the lack of thanks, and the constant politics that are involved, this is my dream.

Poor Children 2 months ago

I see and hear what people around me go through with their children and teachers and really wonder, how these people (the teachers) would be able to exist in a world outside the classroom.

It’s a damn shame that the smart people have been driven out of the pre-secondary education market. It’s hurting our kids and our future. This is why your neighbor decided on buying that 400,000 home on their 21,000/year salary …. see what you have done teachers! I hated things George W. did as much as the next person, but you know what? Our economic crisis, is the fault of teachers. So maybe I should do something rather then complaining about it, and become an honest to goodness, intelligent grade school teacher. For one year of their young lives maybe, just maybe I can undo the damage done.

I'm in college studying to be a high school English teacher 2 months ago

I am about to enter my sophomore year of college and I will by taking my first education course, Psychology of Learning, which also includes a 25-hour practicum. I will choose a class in either middle school or high school to observe. I’m also taking Intro to Linguistics, which is a requirement for certification to become an English teacher at a secondary school. By the end of sophomore year, I will also have to have taken and passed the Praxis I.

papayawhip asks, “I'm very interested in teaching elementary school. The only thing is, I can be shy. My question is, can you be shy and be a teacher? Or is shyness something that you overcome once you start teaching?”
