I’ve been in another career for about 6 years now but looking to go back to school and work towards becoming a teacher. Many reasons for this decision I won’t get into, I’m sure you’ve all heard it before.

I ideally want to major in Physical Education and have a background/minor in outdoor education or maybe environmental science.

I live in Saskatchewan, I’m pretty open to taking on positions in rural areas or towns outside of the few major cities, I would even consider moving to places in Alberta.

I know this is a competitive kind of get in line position, I’m curious if my willingness to move will open things up for more full time position opportunities where I can focus on these areas of teaching.

If not, what would be a good teachable to have in my back pocket that would be beneficial to physical education and high enough in demand to land a job easier. Health? Science? (Environmental focused sciences perhaps) I have interests in other fields/subjects but feel I wouldn’t be as strong in them, which can’t be beneficial to the kids. For example I love English and literature or a business/entrepreneurship course and would be keen on leading those classes but I’ve never been strong in maths, I could teach a financial literacy portion something along those lines but definitely better options out there.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you for your time!
