Career and Technical Education Teacher
Facilitate 7th aand 8th graders in the beginning of their career exploration journey.
My classroom is a computer lab. I guide students in their career exploration process and facilitate career assessments to help determine their strengths, talents, and abilities. From career data to finding employment, the skills taught each day are essential to a successful and meaningful future.
Here's the first step for everyone
Ask yourself if you are willing to take on the challenges of a being a teacher, as well as the rewards. Are you willing to be flexible, optimistic, and open-minded in even the hardest of situations? All children are different. It's important to remember that each child could be facing personal challenges before they even step foot into the classroom. Ask yourself if you are able to teach in a way that will allow them to learn and be successful.
"Discouragement came in the form of a lack of goals. I learned that if I continued to surround myself with people who had no ambition, I would end up like them. Unfortunately, it took me a few years to figure this out."
