WHY TEACH?
Step 1

Working with Kids Is Rewarding

Do you remember what it was like to be a child? To be curious, excited, and passionate about learning and discovery? As we grow up, we may stray from those characteristics we developed as children. Working with children can help you recall and retain those qualities in your professional life and permanently instill them in the students you teach.

In your role as a teacher, you will witness priceless moments as you watch your students understand algebra, the American Revolution, or the atom for the first time. These experiences will bond you to your students, forging relationships that many of them will look back on with gratitude for the rest of their lives.

As you progress in your career, you will develop a personal teaching style and adapt to learning challenges you might experience. You will increase your love of learning and exercise a positive influence on your students' learning. You can change the direction of your students’ lives for good.

Job Security and Beneficial Work Schedule

Teachers will always be needed. Public and private schools alike will require teachers to educate their students. A teacher can count on finding a job, whether times are easy or tough. Teacher tenure, where available, offers great job security in the profession.

All over the world, there is a need to help students learn in order to positively change their lives. This need will never go away. Teachers will always have the opportunity to step up and take action. With this need and responsibility comes a sense of job satisfaction and security.

In addition, teachers have a schedule that aligns with the school calendar throughout the year. Remember how excited you were to get out of school for the summer? Now you can feel that excitement again through an education career!
