How I did it: So I studied my ass off, spent countless hours planning lessons and activities, and came out alive, with a few amazing friends even! It was so hard...really...so much personal time goes into it...but I'm so proud that I did it! Lessons & tips: Put everything you've got into it.

How I did it: Got my degree then went back to school for my teaching certificate. 4 months of grueling student teaching and I EARNED that certificate! The students were absolutely awesome, they helped me so freaking much from beginning to end, really the only reason I kept it up because the amount of work is ridiculous. I think I single-handedly kept the 5-hour energy people in business this year ... Read how I did it…

How I did it: You have to get a four year (bachelors) degree at an accredited university for most public schools. In college you start with general eds that most every bachelor degree takes like math, history, english, science, etc but don't let them scare you off with these classes that don't necessarily interest you. Just work hard and get through them!Then you take a test to get into teacher education program about the end of your sophomore year.Nex… Read how I did it…

Rethinking this goal
3 weeks ago
A great deal of my teacher certified friends are taking jobs that are below them or out of their field entirely because they cant find good teaching positions. I want to be a high school history teacher so bad. But i dont want to waste all the time in the world working towards it only to not be able to teach anyway. :(
Ill keep you guys posted on how it all turns out.

On the road to becoming a teacher.
2 months ago
I signed up for a ROP child care class, at first I took the class because the class I wanted wasnt avail. I started in the class room, this Jan. The class was information on how to get a job at a daycare or headstart as a teachers aide. I spent 4 weeks in the classroom, and after that I started volunteering at a headstart program at an elementary school. I love this class, it made me realize that I really want to become a teacher and work with children. I have enrolled in an online bachelors degree program at Ashford university.
So I am on my way
The Road To Teaching
2 months ago
Right now I am taking classes to earn my AA in Special Education. Once I earn my AA, I need to transfer to another university so that I can earn my BA in Education. Then, I can find a job as a teacher. Other things I can do to prepare for becoming a teacher are to put in an application to serve as a substitute teacher, and to offer English and Spanish lessons in my own home. Maybe I can offer reading help too.

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?”
