Teaching Jobs
Education is a fundamental of any industrialized nation, and so
it is natural that qualified teachers remain in demand
throughout the world. In the U.S., there were over 3.8 million
teaching jobs for 2004 including preschool, kindergarten,
elementary, middle school, and secondary school teachers. If you
are seeking a career that will see good growth and with high
employment availability, then becoming qualified for teaching
jobs may be a proper career choice for you.
If you find pleasure helping people learn, then becoming
qualified for teaching jobs may be in your best interest.
Teaching jobs are found in a number of environments, each of
which has different requirements for working in those particular
teaching jobs. In some cases, you may have to obtain a two to
four year degree and pass a certification exam, and in other
cases your job experience may qualify you for certain teaching
jobs. There is no federal requirements for teaching jobs that
occur in schools, so often requirements for teaching jobs in
schools are dictated by local or state laws.
If you are considering teaching jobs in schools, it is likely
that your state requires that you obtain a four-year degree and
pass a certification or licensing examination. Teaching jobs in
early childhood education, though, will sometimes only require a
two year degree with certification. If you do not want to take a
certification exam to obtain licensure, some school districts
will allow you to become substitute teacher with only a
baccalaureate degree. There is also the option in some areas
that have difficulty finding qualified individuals to fill
teaching jobs, where you can obtain a teaching job in an area of
expertise as long as you have a degree in that area. If you are
considering teaching jobs in schools, you may also need to
understand that you will be subject to a background check.
If you are not necessarily interested in traditional teaching
jobs in schools, there are other kinds of teaching jobs
available to you. You can work in areas of training, tutoring,
adult education, and more, which are teaching jobs in
non-traditional settings. However, the greatest area of growth
in teaching jobs will continue to be in schools.
As student enrollment in schools slowly increases, older
teachers will be moving out of their positions at the same rate,
so growth in teaching jobs is expected to be fairly steady over
the next 10 years. The teachers who are able to be mobile will
have the best chance of finding teaching jobs. Vocational
teaching jobs are also expected to grow in the coming years, as
schools are now offering many specialized programs to their
students.
If you are interested in teaching jobs in school administration
or policy development, you will need to prepare by getting a
master's degree. Getting the advanced degree, though, is usually
made simpler through teaching jobs that offer tuition
reimbursement as a benefit alongside health insurance and
pensions.
