Navigating My Path To Teaching

One college that I have been considering for most of my life is Texas Christian University. TCU is located in Fort Worth, Texas. The tuition for TCU is $36,000. That isn't including housing or food fees. I'm interested in degree programs such as secondary education, psychology, or counseling education. TCU has a lot of scholarship opportunities, if you are interested in seeing all of them click here. Another college that interests me is Texas A&M, which located in the quaint town of college station. The tuition for Texas A&M is 41,000. They have the same degrees that TCU has and they have plenty of scholarships as well. Click here to see more information on scholarships!

There are four steps to becoming a teacher-
1. Get you Education
2. Earn Your Teaching Credential
3. Find a Job
4. And Starting Your Teaching Career

If I stay in the U.S. then I plan on teaching in Texas. There are many reasons why Texas is an ideal state to teach in.. the salary for secondary teachers is approximately 46,110 and the low is around 45,000. Teachers in Texas get about 15 weeks of vacation. Texas also has a few areas where there are teaching shortages, so that leaves many opportunities for new and eager teachers. Texas teachers are required to take a lot of tests but in comparison to other states it isn't too many. For me, Texas would be a wonderful fit with my teaching career.

I personally would love to teach abroad! It is one of my dreams to teach in a third world country and make an impact. In order to get a good teaching job abroad, it's best to have a teaching certification and speak proper English. The normal teaching requirements are required for teachers who plan to teach abroad.
