If you are a teacher, can you explain your choice of the college you went to? I am young enough that I don't need to decide which college I want to go to, but I am really interested in becoming a teacher because they are a great role model for childeren and can make a huge different in someones life. I was interested in knowing what steps you went through to become a teacher, and what college you went to. Thank you!
I live in an area with 8 colleges within an hour driving time. Three of them are public which are cheaper and have a good reputation. I already had my degree and I was making a career change so I could choose the program I was most comfortable with. I eneded up choosing a private college which cost more but was definitely worth it. It was extremely challenging which is what I wanted. I wanted to have as much squared away before I walked into a classroom as possible. Being in a classroom is challenging enough! So, I wanted to be ready. I probably lost .25 to.5 on my GPA but i breezed through my interviews. I got my teaching cert in December and had a job as a long-term sub in January. When I went for a full-time job before the next school year. I had 19 second interviews and eight job offers. Most of my competiton went to public universities which seem to have a different philosophy. They focused on subject matter and less on pedagogy. It shows. You see teachers who know their material--which helps them pass their professional tests--but they don't know how to present it. This is the fundamental point of teaching...the transferrence and presentation of knowledge. That's what I thought and that's the type of program I got into. You can always learn more about your subject while you're a teacher. I get new ideas for resources all the time. But, if I had to search for strategies or communication techniques--ways to reach the student--i'd be in trouble. So, heavy on pedagogy and light on subject matter. You can always take electives regarding your subject matter in college.
