A Career Path To Becoming A Teacher

The career I chose is a secondary education teacher. More commonly referred to as a highschool teacher. A highschool teacher teaches grades 9th-12th and generally focuses in one subject area. High school teachers help prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market (“U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics”). I chose this career because I want to be able to make a difference in young people’s lives and help shape them into good people. “I know that I have a huge impact on my students not just now, but for the rest of their lives,” says Linda Shelly, a high school math teacher in Glendale, arizona. “Seeing them rise to the challenge gives me great pride.” (“Teaching For a Living: Career Outlook”).

Looking back at the experience I had in observing, I still have the determination to inspire others through a career in teaching. Teaching is a very diverse job that requires many skills and a lot of patience. It is important for a teacher to be able to maintain a healthy and professional relationship with their pupils, develop lesson plans that keep the attention of a majority of the students, make the atmosphere of the classroom inviting, and be a welcoming person capable of standing up in front of the class to

If I had the ability to not worry about how much I bring home a week, and the ability to have any job in the world knowing my kids would get fed and they could get what they desire, I would be a teacher. Teaching isn’t a bad job but I want more of a safe guard when it comes to money and my job. I don’t know how much longer they plan to keep teachers around with technology growing. However I have always wanted to teach because of three major reasons. First would be that I would want to help our younger kids grow to be smarter than myself and my generation. Secondly I would like to help the students build their community, inside the classroom and outside in the real world. Lastly I also want to be involved in school sports. It would be a time consuming life however I believe it’s worth the time and effort.

I have always wanted to become a teacher. From playing school with my little sisters, to volunteering a summer camps and elementary schools, there is not better feeling, to me, than to know that I have helped someone to accomplish a goal and develop better as a person. I think that there is no better way to impact the lives of other people than to become a teacher. As a teacher, not only will be able to affect the lives of these students from day t day, but I can also make an impact on the life of each child and hopefully their family as well.

For me, the decision to become a teacher is more of a way of life than a career. I have always loved school, practicing at being school marm from a young age, and voraciously devouring every shred of education offered me in my career as a student. If it were possible, I would be a student for the rest of my life. And then I still would not have learned enough. As a teacher, I hope to instill this appetite for knowledge in secondary students. They are, after all, the future leaders of the world, and what better place to expand the minds of the generations to come than here in Appalachia where education programs, especially the sciences, which I plan to teach, are poorly funded and children’s dreams

The career I have chosen to pursue is a Secondary School Teacher. It is a challenging and creative career to have and is a career that helps “prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics”). To me preparing students for the future is a huge responsibility, that I would be willing to take on. Not only is it a high school teacher’s job to help a student learn and understand important high school subjects, like math, science, english, or whatever else, but it is their job to help shape the minds of the the world’s next generation of passionate and promising young adults.

One of my fondest passions is learning about the human body. I find the inner mechanisms of the human body to be extremely intriguing – the ability for so many intersecting faculties to form a cohesive, high-functioning organism is truly astounding. I am currently majoring in the Honours Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience program at the University of Windsor and throughout my time studying, I have developed a greater sense of not only the human brain, but the physiological and biological mechanisms involved throughout the entire body. I have been able to apply this knowledge throughout my experiences as a teaching assistant for multiple undergraduate courses. My role as a teaching assistant allows me to apply my knowledge of the human body

Choosing a career is not an easy task. As a child, I never knew what I eventually wanted to grow up to be, but in the back of my mind I would always say a teacher because I come from a long history of teachers in my family. One of my grandpas was a high school math teacher along with coaching the football team. My aunt is an elementary school substitute teacher specializing in special needs students, while my uncle is a high school history teacher. While, my father is a physical education teacher who has taught at both the elementary and high school level. Growing up around so many teachers made me think I was destined to be a teacher, although at the time, I was not passionate about it, until my senior year of high school. Senior year I decided to take a child development course where I had the opportunity to volunteer daily at an elementary school. I quickly fell in love with the students and decided that inspiring young children to succeed was my calling. It was this opportunity that made me decide that becoming a teacher was my destiny. Last year I declared as a Child and Adolescent Studies (CHAD) to peruse my dreams of becoming a teacher

Teaching is the greatest profession in the world! I discovered I wanted to be a teacher while working as a Speech Assistant in the public schools. It is amazing to watch students learn. I adore the feeling of energy that comes from kids. Teaching helps build a positive future for everyone, and I love being a part of it.

Growing up, I went through the teacher phase, just like every other kid, where I lined up my stuffed animals and had a whiteboard in the front of the room. I eventually did move past that stage of childhood ambitions and moved on to things I thought were bigger and better. However, as I grow older I find myself going back to teaching as a serious career option, especially in a high school setting. I grew up in a family of teachers, all four of my grandparents and my mom worked as a teacher at some point in their life. I feel like teaching would give me an opportunity to impact many lives and see a lot of kids do some wonderful things. High school teachers not only get to help students learn, as do elementary teachers, but get to help them move onto their next stages of life. I believe if I only get to help one student do something great, all the work and efforts will be worth it. All the hours of grading papers, planning lessons, and dealing with 120 different teenagers throughout the day will have meant something after all.

In the beginning, I wanted to become an elementary school teacher because I loved being around children. With children, I am particularly more patient and protective because I want them to feel safe. It was not until throughout middle school that I began to admire how teachers became role models for students. It was in my nature that I adored spending time with children; however, I saw that I did not have the same passion that teachers did towards education. At this point, I did not know many other career choices besides the careers I hear about the most, such as lawyers, doctors, firefighters, policemen, and more.

Teaching is my second interesting career. Teaching is something I would like to pursue because I love kids. It is always good to share what I know with others. Teachers also have good salaries depending on what type of degree. Becoming a teacher I will have to really teach my knowledge to the best of my ability. Since English is my

Over the years I have been making decisions about what career I’m interested in pursuing. I decided to pursue the career of an Elementary School Teacher. To become an elementary school teacher, there are many obstacles one as to meet. But once they are skillful they plan daily lessons for the day. These daily lesson plans are based on multiple subjects for the students to learn various subjects. A teacher is able to adjust their way of teaching for students to understand what is being taught. Not only that, but they learn how to communicate well with them and they gain a relationship with the students. For this reason, is why I chose this career I want everyone to realize that they can learn many things by getting an education as well as attending

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

I have always wanted to be a teacher. Most of my family teaches and I decided at a young age that I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Watching my teachers from the time I was in kindergarten to now I learned different skills that I believed could help me become a better person and hopefully a great teacher. I have never questioned why I want to become a teacher and I have never placed myself in a different carrier when thinking about my future. The reason I feel so passionately about teaching, is because I believe when a child enrolls in school for the first time they are not only there to learn the core material, but also to learn how to live in the world outside of their homes.
