Rachel’s Answer

Many colleges provide incredible teaching programs. A few of the best in the nation are Johns Hopkins University, NYU, and UConn

Teaching involves a number of different skills and qualities. I would say the most important are:


  1. People skills - being friendly and working well with others. You will need to be personable, caring, kind, friendly, compassionate, and understanding. These qualities make a great teacher. But you also need to be stern and firm in your directions, rules, and discipline
  2. Public speaking - every day in your class you will need to be able to speak and present information to your students, practice speech, and practice fluency of language and talking in front of others
  3. The subject you plan to teach - become a master of the subject you plan to teach, make sure you know as much as possible and learn as much as you can about the subject you plan to teach. Take as many classes as possible in this subject and learn everything you can about it.
  4. Psychology & Human Development - start reading books and research articles on human development and psych. It will be helpful for you to know how people learn at different stages and the best ways to teach them at these stages (depending on stage of development and schema).

Pamela’s Answer

I Love it!!! I like to see how students progress and develop skills, and how they help me to continue learning every day. I also like to work with my interpersonal skills and to build relationships. The rapport helps to create a nice atmosphere in the classroom, promoting a better learning.

Lynn’s Answer

Teaching is a real calling, and a great experience for those who love learning and love sharing their day with other people. It was wonderful for me! Even on your worst day, students can lift your spirits, make you laugh, and reveal some surprising insights into life. Most of the time, that's what you're trying to do for your students as they go about learning, and it's the best feeling in the world when you are successful together.

Stephanie’s Answer

HI Katlyn,


Yes I love teaching and always have. I wanted to become a teacher when I was very young, then was encouraged more by an aunt who was a teacher. Then I met a young woman who became a teacher and I knew what I wanted to do. I studied and now have a Master's degree. I've been a teacher a long time and wouldn't ever change!
