How I did it: I took a lot of exams, graduated college, planned many lessons cried over sad kids' lives, got more flues and colds than one person should get in a year even with a flu shot, told kids to do homework and read when there was no way in hell I had time to do my college homework or reading. Soothed fellow student teachers' tears and stopped them from quitting the program. Tutored fellow college students in writing so they could reach graduati… Read how I did it…

HELLA HAPPY
How I did it: I went on a PGCE Teaching course. Simple as that, just be prepared for all the hard work of actually teaching. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of hours and some bad experiences along the way but it's the best thing ever and I would recommend it to EVERYONE EVER. Read how I did it…

pleasantly surprised
How I did it: Got basic college classes out of the way and began the education degree requirements. It took 2 1/2 years to finish, and the last 2 semesters really whipped me into shape. It was an incredible experience to see that I could actually complete the program with good grades and, as of right now, be starting my second year of teaching in one week! Read how I did it…

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.

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.

Soon I will teach!

Poor Children

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.
frivolousforte is going to make the most of the rest of the summer!
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?”

“How can I get teacher certification somewhere without going back into a teacher preparation program? I'm currently studying my Masters in ESL but teacher certification is what I really need.”
