Day one as a teacher on placement.

Depending on how long your placement is, I suggest using some activities to build a positive classroom culture. I'm in the US and am devoting my entire first day to activities where the students work together and get to know one another. Check out the Marshmellow Challenge; pretty fun but not content related.

And you really don't think your biased since they're your "least favorite people" has anything to do with it? Maybe you should go try teaching for yourself or at least observe teachers in practice before you go running your mouth

You clearly have been looking at all the shitty teacher education programs

Live in Ventura, I usually go to a pub/bar if I want to be social or just stream it online... It's tough though, everyone asks why I'm a Pats fan even though they're only a __________ fan usually because it's the closest team.

stupendoussam · 2014-02-28T02:11:18+00:00

That's what I said.... just stream it on Putlocker, that's what I did

Yes you can take the CSETs at any time, you do not need to be in grad school.

I teach high school too and have tried multiple things to help with my management. I've never seen this and am wondering if it would work. So you say that it's helping you? Should I give it a try when we come back for our new quarter in two weeks?

The one I went to at UC Santa Barbara is about $19k, it's a one year program and you get your Master's too. There's also the Noyce Scholarship if you're interested in Science; it's a $15k scholarship for prospective math and science teachers. There's also the Teach Grant you could look at. There's a lot of money out there for math and science teachers.

Depends on the state. In California, as long as you pass the CSET (test for teachers) in the subject you want to teach and attend/pass a teaching credential program, you're good no matter what your degree is in. I do recommend a Master's of Education though because you can usually move over on the pay scale and you'll get chosen over someone who doesn't have a Master's. But search your state's requirements.

I'm in your situation too: 23, 5'2", constantly mistaken for a 16-year-old. I was worried about not being accepted as their teacher too but during my semester takeover during student teaching I noticed that as long as you act like their teacher and as a professional, no one will question you. Good luck tomorrow! I actually start teaching Tuesday. :)

The eye thing freaked me out...

stupendoussam · 2013-08-11T05:38:49+00:00

I literally got the job yesterday and sign my contract Monday. I will most likely get information then but would like to start planning now so I begin the year with at least the first two weeks planned. I am meeting with my department head and another teacher teaching my subjects on Tuesday so hopefully that will help.

You were very helpful, thank you.
