How
do I become a teacher?
Becoming a teacher is a personal journey. It begins with
inspiration - many want to become teachers from a very early age, some decide
before they enter college, others make the decision at mid-career.
Most teachers have had a classroom experience that was inspirational, a
realization of a love of learning, a joy in striving for excellence. They
have become teachers to pass on that experience.
We have outlined the broad steps to becoming a public school teacher to
help you navigate through the process. We have also identified useful resources
that will help you during that journey.
The process can be frustrating, confusing and difficult. Yet the problems
you may face at the district office, at your school and in your classroom
can be minimized if you know what lies ahead. Along with our outline, teachers
from the film; George, Joy, Maurice, Nate, Andrew and Geneviève,
share their insights about the steps leading into your first classroom as
a teacher. |
