new teacher in training

by Egweena

Aug 21, 2011

Hello, I am taking a core class and I need to interview a teacher and a school administrator. I would really appreciate it if some some teachers and administrators can answer these question. (1) Why did you choose to go into education as a career?

(2) Would you recommend the education profession to others? Why or why not?

(3) Are there any other teachers in your family? If so, who?

(4) What is your highest level of education?

(5) How long have you been an educator?

(6) What is your greatest challenge as an educator?

(7) How do you balance the demands of your profession with the political realities of the education system?

(8) Do you live in the community that you work in? If yes, do you believe that it is important for educators to live in the community in which they work? Why or why not?

(9) Who was your greatest educational influence?

(10) What is the greatest benefit of being an educator?

Math Teach Re:

1) I chose to go into MATH as a career. While I enjoy teaching, I'm dedicated to Math. Sorry, Mr. Wong

2)If you're into your secondary area (Math, Physics, etc) I would recommend trying to teach at a junior college, or get a PhD, and teach at a four year. It's been my experience that administrators and many teachers at secondary schools don't care too much about content knowledge.

3) There are seven other teachers in my family, four of them college professors with PhDs

4) I have one M.S. (Laboratory Chemistry), and I'm working on my M.A. in Classic Math. My B.A. is in Math.

5) Four years (but I'm currently a sub)

6) SPED kids

7) I've tried

8)I live in the community that I currently sub in, but "my" school didn't even grant me an interview. Needless to say, I don't sub for any math teachers for them.

9) My Math professors. They saved me from the inept high school teachers I had, some of whom didn't know math themselves.

10) You can sometimes "grow" with your students (assuming you're teaching a challenging subject)
