Hi, My name is ___________, the carreer I decided to investigate was Seconday Education, which is a high school teacher, now you may think a teacher is a person who is making your life impossible but thats just Mr. Chain. Their are more than 1 million secondary school teachers employed in the U.S., US teachers are generally paid on graduated scales, with income depending on experience. Salaries vary greatly depending on state, relative cost of living, and grade taught, salary for a teacher with a bachelor's degree being an estimated $32,000 in the early years of teaching, usually teachers will get an increase in their salary yearly. They are employed by contracts, some contracts may include long-term disability insurance, life insurance, emergency/personal leave and investment options, one of the highest incomes of a teacher is usually maximum of $42,000. The first years in teaching are said to be very tough since its not a high paid job considering you are barely coming fresh out of college, if you love Roman Noodles then the financial should be no problem since thats what you are gonna be eating for the next 4 years. Teaching has an extremely high level of Work-Related Stress or WRS abbreviated, the degree of this problem is becoming increasingly recognized and support systems are being put into place. Misconduct by teachers is extremely untolerable, as punishment can be from banned from schools or long term prison sentence. A study by the AAUW reported that 9.6% of students in the United States claim to have received unwanted sexual attention from an adult associated with education, not necessirily a teacher but it could be by a volunteer, bus driver, administrator or other adult - sometime during their educational career. A good high school teacher is someone who loves helping others. Some important general work activies are developing constructive and cooperative working relationships with others, and maintaining them over time. Identifying the developmental needs of others and coaching, mentoring, or otherwise helping others to improve their knowledge or skills, identifying the educational needs of others, developing formal educational or training programs or classes, and teaching or instructing others. Use public speaking techniques, a bad one is ensuring correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling. Prepare educational reports, advise students, record student progress, resolve behavioral or academic problems, establish and maintain relationships with students, select teaching materials to meet student needs, develop course or training objectives, adapt course of study to meet student needs. Some more specific stuff includes attending staff meetings and serve on committees. Use computers, audio-visual aids, and other equipment and materials to supplement presentations. Establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among students. Prepare students for later grades by encouraging them to explore learning opportunities and to persevere with challenging tasks. Prepare, administer, and grade tests and assignments to evaluate students' progress. Attend professional meetings, educational conferences, and teacher training workshops to maintain and improve professional competence. Chat with parents or guardians, other teachers, counselors, and administrators to resolve students' behavioral and academic problems, sponsor extracurricular activities such as clubs, student organizations, and academic contests. Instruct and monitor students in the use of equipment and materials to prevent injuries and damage. Interview (Mr. Buller) 1.Do you sign a contract when you get hired? 2.Do teachers get an increase in their salary yearly? 3.What are the requirements to teach science in high school? 4.Can you just quit if you want or do you have to finish your contract? 5.Can a person get hired as a teacher if in his/her past has committed a serious crime like murder or rape? Personal Information: Why I chose to research on the teaching category is because teachers are almost the people that have more days off in their life, I want to specifically study on Science, it involves obtaining a Bachelor's Degree which is a 4 year college education, and later in life I want to be a Coach, because its fun making people run until they puke.
