This article is for everyone who wants to become a teacher. You will learn a lot of things about this career. This article talks about the tasks you will have to do as a teacher, the salary of a teacher, the training you will need to become a teacher, where teachers work, and a lot more information. If you have ever wanted to teach to young children, this article is made for you.
Being a teacher is a rewarding career because you feel like you make a big difference in the children's lives. It is a profession you choose because you want to make children feel safe, loved and happy. You have to keep the students motivated to go to school because it is important for their future. You are training the next generations of doctors, lawyers, artists, etc.
In primary schools, teachers teach a grade level (for example, kindergarten, first grade, etc.), and in high school they teach a specific subject (for example, mathematics, physical education, arts, and many more). They have to create a relationship with their students to keep them motivated.
Before coming to school, teachers need to create lesson plans to make sure everyone is on the same level. At 8 a.m., teachers have to teach new things to children such as the alphabet for example. They can create games or add some humour to keep students' attention. During their "break" from teaching, teachers need to grade the students' assignments. During the day, they also have to respond to parents' emails. They have to give homework and assignments to their students at the end of the day. They have a lot of tasks to do, but the most important one is to assure the security of children.
Teachers work in schools. They can work in primary school with young children. They can work in high school with teenagers if they don't feel comfortable to work with young children. They also can work in college or university with adults who are more mature.
To become a teacher, you will need a college degree. To teach in a primary or in a high school, you will need a bachelor degree of five years. If you already have a bachelor degree in another field of study, you can also get a master degree in teaching if you want to be a teacher.
Teachers make an average salary of $68,680 per year in Canada.
To stay up-to-date with the new technology, teachers need training. They have to understand the electronic devices they use in schools.
With all the tasks they have to do in addition of teaching, teachers can do burn-outs. In fact, the burn-out rate is really high in the first two years of teaching.
With the new technologies, the books have been replaced by computers, the old blackboards have been replaced by interactive ones. They could give computers to children to make them learn, but it will never be the same as having a teacher in front of them. Computers and robots don't have the human touch kids need to learn properly.
The new teachers say they plan to teach for at least five or ten years because it is really exhausting, but the ones who stay after five years are likely to stay for all their career.
In conclusion, I am currently finishing Social Science degree to enter University in September. I will have to do minimum four years of University to finally have my job. I can't wait to work with children because it always had been my dream to make a difference in their lives. I hope you will find the profession you will love, and the profession that will make you happy for the rest of your life.
