Debbie’s Answer

I personally like meeting different people, learning how to deal with sorts of characters, and giving people good learning experiences. Teaching is a great service as it serves to inspire people to learn more or to think about doing a certain job. I have had the chance to teach individuals of all age groups and it's been great because I've gotten acquainted with a wide variety of individuals. It's just great to know more about humanity. Teaching and seeing students understand and enjoy what you do is wonderful; it's a way of helping people do better in life or inspire them to want to do better.

Lynn’s Answer

The benefits of being a teacher go both ways---from teacher to student, and student to teacher---if you really invest yourself in this profession. First, you are helping others become the best they can be. Students follow your lead as a role model in learning, applying that learning and thinking to the classroom and beyond. That benefits them as they become capable and contributing citizens. Benefits from student to teacher include the challenges and enrichment teachers receive from adding new people to their lives every year. Seeing students grow and prosper is incredibly satisfying. Intellectual and emotional benefits aside, having a career in a significant helping profession, when well done, is a privilege. And you get paid! Best of luck! teaching education career choice

Rachel’s Answer

Teaching is an exceptionally rewarding career, it is also an extremely difficult career. It's helpful to take higher-level classes in Sociology, Psychology, and Human Development. Definitely take at least two or more 2000+ level courses in these subjects. You will learn about society and how it functions in a way that may be harmful to our student and how to combat social constructions and become more aware of them. This will make you a better teacher in the long run and having and understanding of sociology as a whole will make you a better person, help you understand your students and connect with them. Studying psychology and human development will help you learn about the way people learn (and therefore you will learn how to best teach your students). Depending on the phase of life adolescents and children are in, they learn differently, and their brain works differently as well. It is essential to have an understanding of this prior to becoming an educator. It will also help you to connect with students, parents, and families. Human Development and Family Studies will also allow you to become more culturally aware of students and families that come from different backgrounds; this will allow you to unlearn implicit biases and recognize them in yourself and others (and therefore, grow from them). Overall, these three fields of study are absolutely essential when pursuing teaching. Taking the time to take 2 or more classes in each of these subjects will help you become the best teacher you can possibly be. Other than these, the more obvious answer is take as many classes as possible in the subject-area you want to teach AND take education courses.

Elaine’s Answer

The best part of being a teacher is that you are part of the future by doing your best in the present. here else can you impact minds in ways that become our doctors, investors, etc that make the world a better place. Where else can you learn about different cultures and learn how to help divers groups? Where else can you become excited because you are helping to create the future by stimulating young minds. I think no other career is as important to humanity, as I believe education and creative thought brought on by education is the most important part of our society When you see that happening in your classroom in small ways each day, you know there is no better place for you to be.
