Ouch. Hope he pulls through all right.

So far so good, they got it taken care of, he'll be going home tomorrow barring any complications.

Good to hear.

[Sionnach Glic]

Indeed, congrats.

That's always encouraging to hear from a teacher.

[Sionnach Glic]

Whoever said small kids need be involved?

My minimum for teaching aims is secondary school. I cannot stand younger children then 11.

You want to be a teacher?

Methinks a little refresher on syntax and the difference between some homophones is in order.

[Reliant121]

To the top yes...



To the bottom...I have no answer

What is it with this site and teachers? Teachers seem to make up half the board at this point.

Back in ye olde days, perhaps. now, I think there are plenty of non-teachers registered as a member, though the active core and the significant posters still represent a fair number of teachers.

Haha. Weird isn't it? I was a former education major but now switched to a dual major in Political Science and History -- so I'll graduate with a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in History. I think my aim is to eventually teach University.

I'd love to teach at a college level but I don't think I'm academically able enough. I mean, I am averaging A's in most of my subjects, but there are some consistent low hitters like some of the sciences where I sit around a C and maths where I am targeted at an A but I really don't think I can get A.

The beautiful thing about teaching University/College is(at least around here), you only need a degree in whatever you actually want to teach. So unless you want to teach Math and Sciences, you should be fine

[Reliant121]

I think you need a degree to teach in infant and secondary school (plus the teacher training obviously) and I think it's the next degree up (is that a PhD?) to teach in colleges and university.

And no, I'm looking at either English or History.

For us, for people looking to teach primary and secondary school, ed training is part of the degree. I was going for an education degree to teach secondary school, I would have graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education, with a concentration in Social Studies. So i'm getting the teacher training and then my concentration is the Social Studies, i.e. History, Government/Civics, what-have-you. For college level/university I think you need a masters to get hired, and I know at my school Professors are required to have their Doctorate within a certain amount of time. However, you can also get teacher certification after graduating with a degree. I.E. When I graduate with my Poli Sci/History Undergraduate degrees (Bachelors) I could return to college and pick up a post-Baccalaureate Teacher certification, it's not a graduate degree but merely the teacher training/certification. Or I could go to graduate school and get a Masters in Education which includes certification.

[Reliant121]

Ah, unless you take a specialized diploma of some form, as far as I know you have to do your degree THEN specialize in teaching over here.
