Preparing for Teacher Education
Three things to start considering and start working towards as you begin to think about teaching as a career:
1. Is teaching right for you? 2. Getting experience 3. Meeting academic requirements
![Page 5: Teacher Education Workshop - Wilfrid Laurier University · 2014. 10. 16. · Workshop Career Development Centre Fall 2014 . Today’s Workshop Overview • Teaching as a career •](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071516/61387f950ad5d20676494b83/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Is Teaching Right For You?
• Talk with professionals in the field- Alumni Sharing Knowledge Program (ASK)
• Career Resource Centre Library: search online using Laurier Navigator
• Online research: The Occasional Teachers blog, Toronto Occasional Teachers (ETFO sponsored), “I am an Ontario Teacher”

2. Gaining Experience • Work or volunteer with students to find out if
teaching is the right career choice for you
• A necessary application component: many schools expect applicants to have spent many hours working with children/youth
• Characteristics of strong experiences:
– Relevant to the age group – Lesson facilitation – Diverse populations – Larger group size

different way – Best 10.0 (or 15.0) full credits – Most recent 10.0 (or 15.0) full credits
