Teaching styles also vary among good teachers. A successful teaching career involves not only daily work with classes filled with individual students, but also the teamwork of building and maintaining a school faculty. Successful teachers not only convey instructions and information in an understandable way but also model for students effective writing and speaking. Without communication there can be no teaching. Knowledge of subject matter alone is not enough.
Successful teachers focus on the student as a growing and developing person.
California students deserve teachers who are well educated, who not only know their subject matter but by example can help students master basic skills of reading, writing and critical thinking. Good teachers work hard and, because we live in a dynamic society, continue to update and improve both knowledge and technique. A teaching career requires a commitment to lifelong education of the self. If so, you are pursuing the wrong profession. However, if you are looking for a profession that carries both emotional rewards and decent pay, the place to look is teaching.
