become a teacher

I’ve realized how badly the corporate world sucks, so now I’m going back to kids (I used to be a counselor in an after-school program).

Although, I’m planning to get certified to teach high school…I already have my bachelor’s in English, so it seems like a good fit.

I hope I like it. I hope I can afford it.
I’m researching programs now, and planning to take my Basic Skills Test in June.

WOOHOO Only 220 days till graduation! This term ended on a high note – 2 As, 2 Bs, and 1 C (don’t ask)!! That means next term will be my student teaching and then graduation….and a job!!! Woohoo! Money!!!

i am currently working on this. i am attending college for my b.s. degree in elementary education

with a masters degree, and I’m not certified at the secondary level, but ever since I walked into a classroom as a teaching assistant I’ve loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, my degree does not transfer well to teaching at a high school, so I can’t comment on certification and getting a teaching degree, etc., but I have several years of teaching and tutoring under my belt.

As I continue my certification classes, I think I’d like to teach kindergarten or first grade.

On another note, I’m both a little nervous and a little excited about the prospects of leaving the “corporate world” behind. Teaching is a job that I think I will find fulfilling. Waking up in the morning to a job where I feel like I’m truly making a difference in the lives of others – I can’t think of a better goal. It’s part manager, part actor, part coach, part researcher…it’s a job that incorporates so much variety into each day. Plus, I believe there are students out there who really need me.

but I realized I’m not ready to leave my present job… I can always teach later (I’ve had my certificate for a few years already)

I just registered for a conference that tells Paraeducator’s about the District Intern Program as a way to get them to consider pursuing their credentials. Now I only have to finish taking the CSET and land a job and I will be all set! I’m on my way!

i want to help children learn and love seeing when things actually click in their minds it’s an amazing feeling.

I took some time off from school after getting by Bachelor’s Degree so that I could save some money for Stutent teaching. I haven’t been able to save much. I am going to try to get into the District Intern Program so that I can have my own class while pursuing my teaching credentials.

i want to become an elementary school teacher. thats one of the professions i want to accomplish in my lifetime.
