For now you can begin by seeing if there are any clubs for future teachers. At my hs we had Future Teachers of America (FTA). There may also be electives that allow you to spend time in an elementary or preschool setting. Before you make up your mind, please volunteer or spend time in a classroom. You will not know that is your calling for sure until you experience it. I started college with a major in biology education. I spent time in several classroom settings until I found out what was right for me and changed my major. If you need any information about teaching, please contact me! I will tell you the good and bad of what being an elementary teacher is like these days.Any advice for a teen that wants to become a teacher?
Don't do it. It's almost impossible to get a job as a teacher these days.
listen in class a lot
A teacher is the next parent to children. The time you spend with your students, they should be treated like your own children (OK maybe brothers and sisters). A really favorite teacher should become a nice parent to the students. Make the kids feel they are not with some stranger, but their own guardian. By this way hthe relationship between you and the students will increase to the top. The students, on the other hand will show much more respect and love to you than others who act like boastfull proffessors. The magic to be used is

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GET A TEACHER JOB?! I'M MYSELF A TEACHER!!There are numerous programs designed for that, but you'll have to do a bit of grooming yourself, believe me its easy! Just practice the following Hints:- Practice addressing a group of people, keeping in mind that you are always right and people will agree with you once they get your point. Try making a chain of things, starting from the basis of the issue you want others to understand, to the issue itself%26amp; problems relating to it. You can take down notes and carry them along, no one would mind it.Try to explain, but don't go to small details unless asked, this can create confusion.Always proceed stepwise.Try to have comand over your subject by studing in library or discussing seniors. Don't care if someone smiles or makes faces during your speech, start looking in his eyes, or start looking at some other person. Try to change the pitch of your voice during your speech to avoid boredom to others. Don't stop for questions, instead ask addresses to save them for the end. A little practice, %26amp; you won't need any tutoring or guidance program.
Well...go for it because you like it and not for the money. During my courses one of our instructors told us that it's one of the lowest paid professions and one of the most time consuming. You'll spend hours after school grading papers, working on curriculum. And summer vacation planning out lesson plans that meet the state requirements. Then there's the state requirements for further education for teacher's so you take more classes and in-services. The reason you teach is the enjoyment with the kids. Good luck!
Select a major, such as math, science, English, and social studies... and maintain a 3.5 or better average. Chances are good that you may earn a scholarship to a decent college by doing so. By the way, I'm assuming that you enjoy bowling, so I wish to enlighten you to the fact that bowling and fishing are my favorite pass times, I find these sports to be fun and relaxing. My current bowling average is 162, and I live in the Taylor Mi area of which is considered to be the bowling capital of the world.
I would start with your counselor.She/he can advise you on your states requirements.
SO HOW HAVE YOU TREATED ALL YOUR TEACHERS
Find out what the prereqs (classes to get in the program) and get those done. Dont take classes you dont need, most people say that later on they regret wasteing their time. So, different colleges can give you a list of classes that need to be done so to go on to the next step...good luck with everything!
In college I never thought about being a teacher. I did not major in Ed. I stumbled upon teaching by accident. I took a job (temp) to fill in for a teacher who took a one year leave (it was teaching in a two year college) I loved it-went to school one semester, took enough credits to get certified. I've never looked back. I teach Middle School. Getting up each day and going to teach seems so natural, almost like breathing. So I've been teaching for 29 years. In May I will get a M.Ed. in technology-total re-invig'. Obviously I'd say do it. However, when in college leave a lot of doors open. If I had not been so spread out in my credits changing to teaching would have been time consuming and $$ consuming. Find what kind of classes you like, gravitate toward them, look for teaching in that area. There are a lot more opportunities that people tell you about.
Ask your counselor to suggest what you need, study hard, make good grades and you'll earn what you want. Good luck.
Depending on if you want to teach older or younger kids, you may want to take a Child Development course. Psychology may be useful, but your college will make you take courses on teaching and psychology, so don't worry about it if you can't, or don't care to now.


In the meantime, you may want to get involved in assisting in elementary school classes if your school has a program for it. You may also want to look into working with children at day cares or at summer camps.


I'm in college now to become a secondary school teacher, and I know that with budget cuts the job market for teachers is uncertain, but in some states like Florida, they're desperate (I'm in Michigan, and they've put an ad in the campus paper for teaching students to go to Florida and teach). Be sure to go to a college with a highly rated teaching certification program, and schools will want you.
