We have developed a brochure to answer most of the common questions people have about preparing to become a teacher. Here are some of the highlights in the brochure. Along with teaching classes, all teachers prepared lesson plans, grade tests, talk with parents and attend school meetings. Some school teachers have specialty areas such as music, art, or physical education, and teach only that subject. Often teachers supervise after-school activities such as school plays, athletics, and school newspapers.
Many teachers say that no two days are exactly alike and that makes their careers exciting.
Teaching calls on a variety of talent-knowing the subject, communicating, listening, understanding, making decisions, helping others. It offers unlimited outlets for using your speical talents. Being a teacher these days doesn't mean sticking with third grade or high school chemistry for an entire career. States are also providing teachers with more opportunities to attend classes to improve their teaching skills and to learn about using new technologies in the classroom. In the classroom, teachrs are gaining influence over decisions about coursework and textbooks and are expanding opportunities for creativity.
