This will be my second year in a school tutoring. Though this year I’m spending 50% of it as a co-teacher. Tutoring will be with grades K-3 but I’m not sure of my mentor’s room. I’ll be getting my initial license this year. Any advice for the following few years? My license will be ECE.

What country are you based in? What’s involved in getting a teacher’s licence there?

I’m based on the US. I’m doing a non traditional path, with the program I’m in. I will be primary by the end of the year but I start by just shadowing and finish the coursework.

I got a chance to work with a person going down a similar alternate route last year. She had a degree in journalism and found that she hated it, so she was transitioning to education. I really liked how it was a slower pace than the student teaching boot camp I had to endure.

Oh this is still very fast paced. But it’s good.

So in US, you can get a teaching qualification in one year (assuming you have an undergrad degree already)? In Australia you need to complete a two year Master’s degree to get a licence (although you can get a conditional licence in your second year that allows you to do casual work, which is a great way to pick up more hands-on experience).

So, how are you enjoying teaching so far? Is it like you thought it would be?
