When I first considered shifting my career focus to include education, I had to go through a decision-making process where I followed the ideas that were mentioned in this article: Things to Consider Before You Decide to Become a Teacher. These include:
1. Identify why you want to become a teacher.
2. List the pluses, minuses and opportunities of becoming a teacher.
3. Talk to trusted friends and family about this plan.
4. Seek the help of a career advisor.
5. Create and execute a research plan.
6. Get a teaching mentor or two.
7. Try your hand at becoming a teacher or a teacher’s aide.
8. Read some books on teaching and other resources.
What about you? Are you studying to become a teacher – or, are you still in the process of making that decision? Or perhaps, you’re already a teacher. What are the things that you’ve put in to consideration regarding teaching as a career?
Do you have any other tips that you wish to share to those who may be considering going in to this pathway?
