Career Change To Teaching

Rafael Said:

Considering career change to teaching. Opinions?

We Answered:

I am 43 and will finish my secondary ed teaching degree in Dec. I was an EMT, then did a dozen years as a corrections officer. I, too, had to face the age factor--having to deal with inmates would have come to an end sooner or later.
I am student teaching in an urban alternative school. I love it.
I would suggest that you try to arrange to observe in a classroom if possible. Many people our age have memories of what school was like in their day. Much has changed.
Don't limit yourself to health education. Personally, I will be teaching English.

Roger Said:

How do I career-change into teaching?

We Answered:

Talk to your local schools. If you are willing to do some voluntary work, it will help your CV. The local schools will also be able to tell you what they tend to look for (qualifications, experience and personal qualities) when they recruit.
