Wanting to teach....

Post Reply New Topic

Since at least 2009, I have wanted to be a high school history teacher. I am wondering what will take to get to that level, and what degrees I should pursue. This much I know: I need a teaching license.

Have a look at my thread on teaching (in this forum)- I'm having a similar problem atm. If you want to teach history, it's probably best to do a history degree (or if you're in US, major in history) then go into teaching afterwards. Try to get some experience in a school if you can though, see how you feel about it.

If your in the United States, you'll typically complete a Bachelor's in history. You'll also need to take classes on teaching skills and methods at the same time.

Aspie's usually dont end up getting jobs as a teacher
especially high school teaching
before you go pursuing lot of courses and spending lot of money
be sure whether you will be getting a job

Definitely find a class to volunteer in before you sign up for any classes. Teaching requires a lot of social skills, and there are many unwritten rules. It is MUCH more than just sharing what you know.

there are continous observation and evaluation of the teacher they will repeatedly judge you can you handle that???
