I turn students on to the thrill of reading, writing, and all magic in between.
Get up, head to class. I teach a total of five classes, we meet twice a week for an hour and twenty minutes. In addition to instruction, I hold office hours, where I have the opportunity to meet with students one on one. Because I get bored easily, I am constantly researching new ways to inspire and reach my students. There is a lot of out of class time spent on grading, and that really is the most time consuming, sometimes the most frustrating (but equally rewarding) part of the job.
Here's the first step for everyone
Be persistent. Be open to doing a lot of side jobs in the process. Ask for help. Get to know people within the department. Volunteer. Stay upbeat and positive because teaching is the BEST job!! Honest.
