from the area just curious 

EDIT: i actually did some help with the learning disabled children a while back in Franklin if you know where that is i really enjoyed it. I been really thinking of getting into special education. I would really like to hear your thoughts on it. how you like it etc. 

 

[yeah]

Starting my first internship mid-May.

Can't wait for it. Just kinda nervous about how the kids will react to my tattoo (forearm.) I won't be able to wear long sleeves every day, as we have to do "active-participation" recess which basically means I'm gonna be dunking on elementary school kids on the small rims.

Although not a teacher, I work at a high school in houston, tx. My position is call the Graduation coach, not to be confused with the college access coordinator. I do have a regular class schedule with students I see everyday but majority are retaking a class with me online to recover a credit needed for gradation. Others are the ones trying to get ahead by taking courses online.

I was an Elementary Ed major before i joined the military. When I get out, i was considering getting back into it, but I'm really interested in helping kids

this will literally offer no help but there was an 8th grade history teacher on NT, talked to him in a thread about a year ago, respect to him since he's politically correct and offers both sides to the story to his kids

Well from my understandin teachin in a secure facility is a State position and i'm sure the benefits are great because it is with the State. Right now I am waiting for the teaching applications to open so I can actually be considered for the fall..I am already guaranteed a summer teaching position teaching about the Civil Rights movement..which is real cool..and I think the kids will like it as well..but back to what I was sayin..once the applications are open in the state of NY I can fill out the application and I am able to secure a position if a facility would like to interview me and give me a chance to earn a spot..

The kids in the facility are from 14-21 and they have gone away for various crimes (killing someone, drug related nonsense)..but they are all hopin to gain an education (there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the kids that I will b workin with)..but they're your normal inner city youth that need guidance..

In the classroom..there are two guards on watch at all times..you're never left alone with the kids (most are in gangs so that's why)..and the guards can help with your lessons if you ask them too..the facility that I visited is maximum security..and the class size is 15 students for each teacher..so the class size is small which i like..hate teaching 30 kids in one of my 6th grade classrooms right now (they're a bunch of animals)..

Hope this gives you some info..

 

[solarius49]

man that was alot of great info, and gave me some inspiration. I really want a chance to help kids

What did you guys do to become certified teachers? Did you get your Master's or did you take a different approach?
I'm currently majoring in Elementary Education, with the intention of becoming an English teacher. I hope to teach in San Francisco, or at least a city near SF.

yea, same pay as any campus job, but it's a whole lot better than cleaning dishes in a dining hall

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

I did an alt. cert program (similar to Teach for America, but it was called 'Teaching Fellows) I was originally a psych major in school
