HOME the STORY the TEACHERS be a TEACHER RESOURCES FORUM OUTREACH PRODUCTION

“Get involved in a youth program and tutor. Observe classes before you begin the process. It makes teaching much more tangible. I still observe classes and get so much out of it. I have learned a lot from watching other teachers' styles.”
- Geneviève

“It was invaluable for me to observe before I taught. It gave me a real sense of what goes on in the classroom. Check out different grades and different teachers. Every teacher has a unique style and personality. It's important to figure out what works for you and how to come up with your own teaching style.”
- Andrew(TEACH)

Is this for me?
Take steps to find out if teaching is really for you.

There are teachers who have come before you and have found their way through the system. Reach out to them.

Find a mentor. Ask questions. Get online. Join our message board.

There are difficult and important choices you will have to make along the way. It's essential that you get feedback early on in your journey.

Test the water: volunteer, tutor, substitute, work with kids, or observe a class. Get an inside look into teaching before making a commitment to becoming a teacher.
