Early Childhood Education and Teaching:
I knew most of my life that I wanted to be a teacher so when I chose education as my major I knew that is exactly where I wanted to be. I enjoyed my years in school as an educatin major because I learned so much about how to be a good teacher, how to have great classroom management, how to write great lesson plans, and even how to help the struggling student. I think that if someone wants to be able to help make the difference in a child's life then becoming an education major is the best step for them. You will learn many skills in your schooling that will help you become the best teacher that you can possibly be and you will help change the lives of so many wonderful children. |

English / Language Arts Teacher Education:
Majoring in English education is great, if you love literature. You have to take a lot of writing and reading classes, so be prepared. Also, be prepared that you may not get to teach the type of class you want. I would like to teach British Literature, but I may also have to teach American Literature, or wait until there is an opening. I would definitely recommend studying this.. I don't know if I would do it again if I was re-choosing a major. I might go into Nursing instead. The positives are that teaching is a secure and needed job, so it is great in this economy. You get to help children/teens which is very rewarding. However, a teacher's salary is very limited. |

Elementary Education and Teaching:
At the university where I studied elementary education, it was a very good experience the first two years. After that, the program itself, started to go downhill. Professors were being brought in who had never set foot in an elementary classroom, professors that barely understood English, and professors that rarely made it to class seemed to be the case more often than not for my last two years of college. If I had to do everything all over again, and stayed at that particular university, I would not pick that major based on my last two years. My advice to people considering elementary education would be to research their school choice first and make sure they have not only a strong education department, but also to see if there is a program that helps the students find jobs after they graduate. Another point I would consider is to check out the school districts in the community you would like to work in after graduating. Many of the school districts that were close to me after I graduated gave preference to alumni. Since I was not from that area, it was extremely difficult for me to get an interview. As it was, I ended up in a completely different career. The pros of my degree are that it does help me obtain a higher consideration when applying for another job; I felt better prepared when i had my own children because I had dealt with small children for so long; and I have a great children's book collection for my sons someday to enjoy. The cons are that since I am unable to go back to school at this time, my teaching certification expired and I am unable to renew it, so all I have is my degree, which will not be enough if I ever decide to try and get back into the education field. |
