Should You Be a Teacher? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798350969276)

If you are currently considering majoring in Education or entering the ranks of teaching, this book was written for you. This book considers a number of topics related to teaching that you may not have thought of before, such as whether or not your temperament is suited for teaching and whether you have realistic expectations about what teaching is like. We cover both the general positive and negative aspects of being a teacher, and we also get very specific about some of the challenges you'll face. The book is filled with real life examples of some of the triumphs and struggles of everyday teachers and will give you practical tips about finding your way in this fulfilling yet challenging field. Not only do we examine the types of students you might have, but we also spend time giving you our experiences, both good and bad, with parents, administrators, and other teachers. Although we make no claim to be educational experts or role models, we do believe our insights into the challenges facing education will help you better grasp the field of teaching as a whole and give you important questions to consider. We don't shy away from pointing out the flaws in the education system today, but we also do provide some sense of hope that positive changes can be made to the field that will help future students get the most benefit out of their school experience.
