Hello everyone, my name is Rosemarie Coursol. At the moment, I am studying Social Sciences at Lionel-Groulx College. It's my second and last year in this program because next year I will go to university. Social Sciences are about the psychological and relational sides of human. Thereby, this program leads to careers that involve a lot of interactions. Actually, I want to become a mathematics' teacher in High school. If you want to become a teacher as I want to or if you have an interest in Social Sciences but you don't know witch career is for you, you must read this career summarize. Also, my sources are reliable because the first one is a college admissions service company offering test preparation services, tutoring resources. The second one is a website that helps students to find a job. It offers personality test, information about many careers and other sources to learn more about the career selected.
A teacher can work in primary or secondary schools. Usually, in primary schools they teach many subjects in one class. In secondary schools, they teach one or two specific subjects in one or many grades level. Teachers have a regular schedule often between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, they have too much work, so they work more than 40 hours per week.
Teachers have many tasks. Of course, they have to create exercises, to teach lessons, to grade their students, to generate homework. Also, they need to meet parents and contact them each week to follow up students' academic progress. Teachers often have a period to work in the school as, for instance, monitoring students in detention. Sometimes, they get staff meeting and more rarely they can work as supervisor on a school trip. Creating interest from their students is probably the most difficult task for a teacher.
On a typical day, teachers generate and teach lessons. Also, they generate homework and grade students on their work performances or for their participation. In addition, they help students to resolve their personal or academic problems, and they try to caption their attention by creating an interest or by making some jokes.
Teachers work in primary or secondary school. More often, they work inside, but sometimes they can go outside for a special activity. They can have their own class, or they are moving in many classes. It depends on the school where they work. They can also work in the teachers' room where they usually have their own desk.
If you want to become a teacher, you must finish your secondary school. After, you had to go in college, but you don't have to choose a specific program. Usually, people choose to go in Social Sciences because it's the most common program. In university, you need to succeed the bachelor and then you can start to teach as a real teacher.
When they start, teachers have an average salary of $40 000 per year. When, they teach for a couple of years, they make an average salary of $64 340 per year.
Usually, teachers don't need additional training. However, if they want to teach a specific subject as biology, they need to succeed this subject as student. Also, after their bachelor, teachers can continue to study for their own pleasure, or to specialize, for example, to teach children with learning difficulties.
Most of the time, being teacher don't provide dangers. However, teachers can have violent students in their groups, and they can be involved in a fight. They can also be recipient of hateful comments. In addition, in the past, schools have been the victims of shooting, so it could be a danger for teachers.
Teachers can't be replaced by robots because they must have empathized. Also, relationships and dealing with many personality types is important. Teachers must treat their students fairly, and they must adapt their lessons to the abilities level. Actually, robots can't do anything of this because they don't have feelings.
Most of the time, teachers retired between 60 and 65 years old.
To conclude, the teaching profession is a profession where you have to like interactions, provide help and create the future geniuses of society. I hope this summary of the teaching career has enabled you to learn and perhaps undertake further studies in teaching.
