Should I broaden my teaching degree?
My heart is with little ones! I love teaching lower grades. I want to teach, preferably, no higher than 3rd grade. However, I have been advised by several people to get my degree in K-6 education. They reason that once I get out of college there may be only a 6th grade position open that will at least "get your foot in the door" of a school system. But, I work with students of all ages in my after school job, and I love my jr. high students, but I do not think I would enjoy teaching them. I have also heard of many teachers being moved from Kindergarten to Jr. High when there is an open position that is needing to be filled. So, my thinking is if I do not have the degree that includes the higher grades I will not be moved. So, basically, would it be smart to just suck it up and broaden my degree or keep it where my heart is? #teach #teaching #teacher #teaching-prek-12
