I think it’s so cool that you are thinking of your future this early in the game!

I would say in the professional world school names do not hold that much weight. You may get a comment in the interview process but that’s it.

So if I were you I would look at state public schools. They’re the best value for the price and the prepare teachers, LMFTs, PTs, OTs, and speech therapists the best. Some of them offer bridge programs into their multi subject or single subject programs after you finish a bachelors there. I’m in California so there’s San Diego state, San Jose state, cal state San Marcos, and about 10 others. Another thing to consider is how much you are comfortable spending. If you go to a state public school they offer in state tuition as well so your per credit cost is far lower then if you wanted to jump to another state.

Also, there are so many government funded scholarships to encourage more teachers to join the field :)

Firstly, I would suggest you start by pinpointing the degree that captures your interest. Once you've done that, think about which part of the country you'd love to experience college life in. With these key decisions made, you can then dive into some research to discover which colleges offer top-notch programs for your chosen major. This approach is a fantastic way to ensure you find a college that's a perfect match for you!

A. Michelle’s Answer

Kaliyah - Freshman year of high school is not too early to start researching your options. Some online research can help you identify colleges with a good reputation in your fields of interest. Since you might change your mind about your major or career field, be sure to also think about the type of school that best meets your needs and interests. You don’t want the academic program/career path to be the only thing you like about a college. Do you want to go to a small, medium or large school? Do you prefer an urban, suburban, small town or rural environment? Would you want to live on campus, off campus or at home? Don’t rule out an out of state school with a strong program as many schools have needs-based and/or merit-based scholarships.

Patricia’s Answer

It is so nice to see a young person think about their goals and pursue information. You can definitely look online at reputable sites that score colleges overall for what they offer and how they stack up against each other. You are based in Texas which actually has a very good secondary school offering. In state tuition is much cheaper than out of state and if I'm not mistaken, most all state schools hold a percent of admission seats for the top graduates (based on GPA) for in state students. If there are any schools that have your interest, read up on them and see what actual students have to say. And remember with the Texas state university system, most all of your classes will transfer amongst each other so you could start your school career near home and transfer later to a school father away from home. Many students struggle with missing friends and family which can add stress. On the other hand, becoming independent can be it's own adventure. State school is cheaper in tuition than private school and scholarships are always something worth applying for. Look into what your school district offers in the way of concurrent enrollment, "running start" or other programs for students that have chosen their career path already. This can give you a glimpse into the future of your chosen career and all but help ensure that you gain admission to your chosen discipline in college while making sure it is indeed it is the right fit for you. Consider volunteering in the field you desire. It will make your admissions application more competitive while showing you some of what it takes to become a talented educator that inspires others to learn. Tutoring, child care or camp counselor as well as church programs or sports teams can help you hone your effectiveness as a leader and communicator to your students. I think asking your favorite teachers and or school counselors would be a great idea as well.
