Title –Example Essay to help you with the process

I chose to go into the field of education. I was raised around several teachers. My mother, grandmother and two of my uncles were teachers. I never thought about another career, so education seemed appropriate.

Careers in the field of education are plentiful as many college students are avoiding the career for many reasons including politics and financial reasons. “The job outlook projected to grow 6 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the average for all occupations” (OOH). “Employment growth will vary by region”(OOH). Classroom sizes, however, are projected to increase, which may lead many away from the field.

High school teachers “ plan lessons in the subjects they teach, assess students to evaluate their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, teach students in full class settings or in small groups, adapt lessons to any changes in class size, grade students’ assignments and exams to monitor progress, communicate with parents about students’ progress, work with individual students to challenge them, to improve their abilities, and to work on their weaknesses, prepare students for standardized tests required by the state, develop and enforce classroom rules and administrative policies, supervise students outside of the classroom” (OOH). Secondary teachers work schedules vary from state to state and district to district, but many work a traditional 10-month schedule and have a 2-month break during summer. Many teachers spend their evenings and weekends grading papers and their summers working second jobs or summer school.

In order to be a teacher I would need to be patient. Children come to school with all types of baggage, both academically and personally and I would need to be adaptable (OOH). List more than one skill

Education: There are three schools that are known for their education program in Michigan. They are Central, Eastern and Wayne State University. Their contact information follows.
