A. Teacher assistants are an integral part of the teaching process ... a good assistant ... Serves as an extra set of eyes and ears in the classroom Serves as an auxiliary when needed Serves as a extra person to assist with student understanding Helps immensely when there is a shortage of materials and someone needs to get them Helps to organize materials Assists in working with students with specific needs Is a working partner in most cases and not seen as an assistant It is great to hear you are considering such a wonderful position ... you are very much needed ...

What advice do any veteran teachers have for the new teacher?
Q. I want to be more specific here and ask what would you say to a new young teacher getting into the profession as far as the planning of retirement? What they should do now (when they begin teaching) for the future? Any special programs given to teachers as far as home buying, loans, and anything of the sort? Should the new teacher do anything as far as education to further their wage, etc.?
Asked by Kaj J - Tue Aug 25 13:46:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Good for you - I wish I had started sooner. My union (in New Zealand) has a retirement saving scheme that we can pay into straight from our paycheck. The government matches contributions up to 3%. Check with your district and your union to see if there is anything like that. I don't know of any programs such as you list for help with home buying etc. Wouldn't that be nice! At the moment in the US, pay increases are linked to education. This may not always be the case, but it is always useful to learn more as a teacher.

How do teacher recommendations work if you're applying to college online?
Q. I'm applying to most of my colleges online, and the teacher recommendations are attached to the application. How can my teachers access this if I'm the person filling it out?
Asked by fastrthanu13 - Fri Aug 24 02:22:29 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You need to print out the recommendation portion of the application. Provide copies to your teachers or counselors. Your teachers will then send them to the colleges to which you are applying. The folks in the admissions office will put together your entire application, including transcripts, SAT or ACT scores, and letters of recommendation.

Q. What do you do if the teacher who you wanted to write your college recommendation is leaving? My teacher is moving to a different state, but she's the only one I absolutely KNEW I wanted to write a college recommendation for me. I have to start applying to colleges next year, but she won't be here, and it's important that *she* be the teacher to write it because she's the English teacher, and I'm planning on majoring in English.

A. Why don't you ask your teacher to write you the letter of recommendation now keep it until you need it, then when you start applying you can make copies for the application packets to the universities that you will apply to.

How can teacher accountability have a positive and a negative influence on the classroom environment?
Q. Standards-based education can sometimes put pressure on teachers to be sure they 'measure-up' to the expectations of state standards. How can teacher accountability have a positive and a negative influence on the classroom environment? Respond to classmates' post from a parent perspective
Asked by greinleesmommy - Mon Dec 29 16:20:27 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. While I can't possibly imagine a teacher giving answers to a test (but I'm sure it's happened), a bigger more general problem with teacher accountability is that the teacher naturally places more emphasis on how to pass the test than on the intended curriculum of the course. From a parent's perspective, this means the teachers are "teaching to the test" and only worried about the bonuses that come with good scores. On the flip side, some teachers NEED to have standardized testing to truly hold them accountable. I personally think this means these particular teachers have no business in the business, but either way, it's good to make sure teachers are doing their jobs. From a parent's perspective, it's certainly nice to have concrete… [cont.]

As a teacher assistant in a preschool would you feel comfortable to change diapers?
Q. As a teacher assistant in a preschool would you feel comfortable to change diapers? Is this teacher's duty? Could you please share your experience? How it was? Thanks.
Asked by Christina P - Thu Nov 15 15:35:30 2007 - - 14 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Yes this is typically the job of the assistant, not the teacher. At least in some school districts teacher contracts specify that teachers do not have to change diapers. If I was male I would not want to change diapers of young children, but would not choose to work with young children given our society. Otherwise this is a routine job duty and should of been disclosed during the hiring process via a job description so if you are not comfortable with it you can choose another job or different age group etc.

A. I saw that, it was crazy! I would suggest going to a performing arts school, if you have one in your area. A local university should also be able to give you good references in the music department. I don't think an established school would hire someone who can't sing. Before you purchase lessons, talk to some of the other students. Also tell the teacher that you want complete honesty from him/her instead of false hopes. Good Luck!

A. You might say something like you will be trying to make the transition as smooth as possible as to not shake things up too much for the children. You should say you are going to try and stick with some of the previous teachers choices and routines, while incorporating what you feel is important. The questions will be easy, the answers will come from your heart as corny as this may sound. They are looking for people whom love children, will not be too light or too harsh on the children and of course someone who isn't going to be a bad influence. Think about why you want to teach kindergarten and the answers should come easy once you know this.

What classes to take to become a teacher?
Q. I am currently going to a community college. I plan on transferring to a four year college in the fall of next year but for now I want to take some classes that will go with becoming a teacher. I want to be an English or Math teacher or both, if I can, for high school students. What sort of classes should I take? I am taking an english and math already but what about others that are required? Would a psych class be required? What about sociology?
Asked by Kate - Wed Nov 4 16:06:11 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. While you're at community college, you'll want to take classes that will count toward your "gen ed" or distribution courses when you transfer. If your CC isn't linked to a particular college or colleges that you would want to attend [i.e. you're "guaranteed" admission], then you'll need to look at the degree requirements for math majors or English majors and be sure that the classes you take now will be likely to transfer. At most colleges, psych and soc would count as "social science" electives. Most likely you will want to major in the subject area you want to teach and probably take some "methods" courses, depending on the certification requirements for the state you want to teach in.

How is the teacher certification process different in the USA than in Canada?
Q. Here in Canada you need to go through the following steps to become a teacher: 1. Four-year undergraduate degree in your specialization (or general studies for elementary teachers) 2. Next, a two-year undergraduate degree in Education (focusing on either elementary or a secondary specialization) If you want to do a Master's degree, it's another two years of full-time studies (meaning someone with a Master's degree in Education has spent eight years in post-secondary studies). How is this process different in the USA?

A. One big difference is that there is no national standard. Each state sets the standards for that state. In Texas, you don't have to have a Master's. You can obtain the credentials to teach with a Bachelor's and the appropriate education methods courses to equip you to pass standarized certification tests, which demonstrate your knowledge of educational theory and practice, and the particulars of your teaching fields (usually two).

A. The advantage of being a teacher, especially of a subject you love, is that you will learn more about your subject preparing to teach your subject than you would just as a student. You will actually become a repository for this body of knowledge, a living book, if you will, and the information you dispense to others will be flavored and seasoned with your personality, your wit, your personal insights and understandings. There may be many other instructors in your field, but there will be only one YOU, and therefore you're instruction will be unique; there are students that you can reach that no one else can. You will provide them with a perspective for seeing this field of knowledge through your eyes. You are their mentor, their role… [cont.]
