what internships are good for wanting to be a teacher

One option is to see if you can try out this career path as a substitute teacher, so you can get a feel for what it's like to work with students. When I was in college, I was considering working with students as a career and spoke with my hometown's education department. I got my substitute teaching license (which lasted for five years), then worked with elementary school students mainly over the summer months and used that experience as one of my internships when on break from college. Substitute teaching helped me figure out that I wanted to choose a different career path, but I really learned a lot and enjoyed my time with the students! Remember to keep in mind that there are certain requirements for substitute teaching, so it might be helpful to do some additional research to see what the qualifications are for this job in your state. Here's an example of where you can find New Jersey's requirements: https://www.nj.gov/education/educators/license/sub/handbook.pdf Hopefully this helps as an option and good luck!

Many internships or work opportunities would be good for a potential teacher! You can be a teacher aide or a tutor. Summer time, look into a camp counselor role.
