I’m considering taking classes to achieve a masters in teaching. I love children, I love learning and college in general, and I love teaching other people things that I’ve learned. But I’m still nervous about if it’s the right job or not. Any advice?

I’m doing a teaching placement for 3 weeks at a local secondary school [ages 11-18] (teaching modern languages). Really anxious to make a good impression (on both the students and the staff) and to do well.

Any advice? What would make a good student teacher for you?

she’s utterly stubborn about even touching the thing. Please just some simple strategies on how to go about this monumental task.

I’m figuring I start teaching her how to use the mouse, then to check email, then some simple programs like Word or whatever. Thanks.

If you support teaching evolutionary theory in schools what premises are you basing your support? Also, if you support teaching intelligent design or creationism why and on what basis? One more question, what empirical evidence or support is their for the theories of either intelligent design or creationism?

Jamie asked:


I am applying for teaching jobs and sending out resume packets. I know that I should include a cover letter and a resume, but should I include letters of recommendation, my teaching certificate, transcripts? Should I wait on some of that stuff until I’m called for an interview? Also should I include a list of references with my resume or wait until that is requested?

Thanks so much for the help!

San Chez asked:


I’m interested in teaching at a community college. I’m a CPA and would teach accounting. I’m curious if other accountants have done this and enjoyed it or not. How do people do this with a full time job? Has anyone made the transition into doing this full time after working in industry?
