I just asked a question about how I can teach biology to junior high or high school students. I stated that I almost have my bachelor’s degree in Biology. The responses I received stated that I would need to get a teaching certificate/credential in addition to my biology degree. Exactly how do I do that and does it require more school or is it just a test I have to take? Thanks.

Weirdly, none say what the youngest age is to teach a puppy tricks.

Okay, she is 14 weeks old, and a playful puppy, should I start teaching her? I got some treats, but which is better, treats or petting the puppy when she does it right? If thats not right, then what do you do to praise her?

There is a job opening for a pre school teaching assistant position, but I don’t know what to say in the cover letter. I’ve worked in an office for the past two years. I have no formal work experience with children, but i’ve helped raise a lot of my cousins. I’m a psychology major. Can you give me a sample letter or help me think of what to write?

Christina asked:


I have been a teacher for the past 7 years. I have been teaching 5th grade for the past 4 years (prior to that I was a reading specialist).

At the end of the last school year, I was told I would be teaching 1st grade. I am excited about the change, however I am struggling with activities to do at the beginning of the year. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

John asked:


I need some of the harms faced by the current policy of teaching creationism.
It is currently against the law to teach creationism in schools,
but what are the harms of continuing this?
Sorry, I wasn’t clear enough.
I meant teaching Creationism as a Science class in a public school.
And I need harms that face students or the education of students caused by the fact that Creationism is not taught in schools.

Justin N asked:


I am teaching sophomores, in two days, how to write a Letter of Introduction. So far, I have found limited resources online.

I am in a bind as a student teacher and need to give good instruction to them.

And another question, since it has been a while since I’ve covered this topic:

What is the difference between a cover letter and a letter of introduction?

My grandson, age 5, goes to a Karate School and is in Little Dragons (and the Little Dragon Club) AND my great-niece, age 8, goes to the YWCA and takes classes in JAPANESE for her lessons. What is the difference in teaching and/or methods? The school is obviously the more costly

helly asked:


I have completed teacher training (UK) secondary in MFL, but I have realised that it is not really for me. I love working with kids, and I have always been interested in counselling and psychology (I have some certificates in those). I also have a son with autism and I am interested in that too.

I just don’t know what direction to go with this. I want to do a job I can really get into, but I don’t want to waste the teaching qualification which I have worked really hard for.
Unfortunately in the UK, we don’t have school counsellors.
