Teach a college course

I am currently pursuing my master’s degree while working as a substance abuse counselor (group and individual therapy). I’ve found that I love the dynamics of the group setting and loathe the amount of time you are tied to data entry in the state-run arena. What I want is to find a position within a community college where I may hone my skills as an educator. It is frustrating not knowing the next step to take! Any advice?

I’ve made major progress toward this goal… a few days ago I submitted the draft of a syllabus for an undergraduate course I hope to teach at a local university in the spring! I actually may complete this goal within a few months!

I taught a college class the other day. I got called in to work for a former professor of mine, I thought I was going to do some filing for her but I got there and she gave me this big pile of papers and told me that I had to fill in for her for the day (the student’s FIRST day!) Luckily I had taken that class from her a few years ago and everything went really well. I’m on my way!

I am teaching an Advanced Placement English literature class next school year…does that count???

Good news… I’ve received the green light to design an undergraduate college course! This course will cover various aspects of nonprofit management and be listed as an elective in the spring 08 University of Oklahoma catalog. I have one month to complete the syllabus.

I am on track to meet this goal.

Within the next twenty-four months, I will teach a college course at a local university.

I’ve been approved to teach Cultural Geography and Human Ecology. Ask me in May how my first class went.

I just started teaching Data Structures at a local university. It’s been a thrilling, challenging, exciting, exhausting experience, and we’re only in the second week of the quarter! It’s definitely a good learning experience for me (not just my students).

I will be doing a guest lecture on Agile methodologies, and more specifically Extreme Programming, at my old University.

Quite looking forward to it :-)

I never thought I had what it takes to be a teacher but I’ve taught a high school sunday school class and I have been teaching anger management classes for 5 years. I would not mind trying to teach a college course in Criminal Justice or Sociology….
