1. Why Become a Teacher?

2. About
People have many different reasons for Become a Teacher. Many of those reasons change
over the course of a career. However, there is one reason that often remains, or evolves if
not a primary reason initially, and that reason is the joy of having purpose.
As a teacher you will be involved in passing on knowledge and skills that are necessary for
individuals to become productive, thoughtful and reasonable citizens of society.
For most individuals who initially decide to become teachers, there are many additional
reasons for entering the field that are more tangible and the duration between work and
gratification is much smaller.

Turning Potential into Success
Every student enters the classroom at
the beginning of a school year with a
certain, unknown amount of potential.
The recipe to unlock each student’s
potential can vary greatly.
Whether a student has been primed at
home to explore the topics a teacher
lays in front of her or has experienced
the common obstacles faced by
children growing up in households
where parents are living hand to mouth,
the guidance and support of a positive
teacher can open up new worlds for
each student.

4. Interpersonal Interaction Every Day
Many careers these days provide limited interaction between employee and clients or
customers. Or, if there is significant interaction, it is often with either the same individuals or
the same type of individual day after day.
Teachers, on the other hand, have days filled with interactions between hugely diverse
populations from other teachers and administrators, to students who bring all the diversity of
their communities into the classroom. With such eclectic makeup of classrooms and work
environments, teachers have the opportunity to expand their own views on a daily basis.

Autonomy
Once one has become a teacher, after all
the schooling and mentoring has been
completed and skills attained, teachers
have a great amount of autonomy in the
classroom.
Other than needing to cover skills based
on your state’s education requirements,
you can deliver your lessons through
almost any means you deem worthy.

Lifelong Learning
As the world at large changes with advanced technology and amorphous views toward
just about everything under the sun, political agendas, the economy, etc., the way
teachers perform their jobs as well the education they must possess to meet
expectations changes as well. The teachers knowledge tool bag grows constantly as
students expose teachers to changing ideas of what’s “cool”, and in more sophisticated
situations, the variety of public opinion toward varying subjects in the community.
On top of this, teachers are required to continually take classes to help them continue to
develop as educators. This may appear daunting at first, but over the course of a career,
continually learning through professional education and through students is something
that keeps the job of teaching fresh and intellectually rewarding.
