Advice, Tailored Just for You
If you’re thinking of becoming a teacher, you’ve got a lot to consider:
- What is teaching like day to day?
- How do I get certified to teach?
- What subjects/grades can I get certified in?
- Which teacher preparation program is right for me?
Certified teachers have blazed their own trails to the classroom, and can help you determine the best path for you based on where you are now and where you want to be.
So take to Twitter, join a Facebook group, or volunteer at your local school. The best way to learn about teaching is to talk to teachers.
