I wanted to let you know how my pursuit of teaching is going.
I have decided to take the MTELs early next year so I can have my preliminary license by the end of my MBA.
I have been picking my sister-in-law’s brain on the school system and the profession, and I am not turned off yet. I have learned a lot about how it all works, and how I really might not be able to apply for jobs at all next year because I will need a license on hand in order to do so. For this reason, I am setting myself up for the expectation of teaching at college or private school to start with. Once I get my license and some experience under my belt, I will be able to switch to the public school system and maybe get my own classroom.
I have also decided to start a new blog called “Teaching Inanutshelll” to talk about my experiences from the moment of the decision to pursue teaching onwards, so I will start blogging there starting today, if you wanted to keep up with my new career path. Find the new blog here: http://teachinginanutshelll.wordpress.com
Thanks for listening so far. I’ll keep posting my thoughts on this blog, so I’m happy to have you read here.
