Will You Love Teaching? Here’s what Teachers Say


We asked a number of new teachers what they love about their work. Here’s what they had to say.



The Students

Teachers cite working with students as the number one reason why they love teaching. Many teachers get a rush as they watch a student master a new concept or come up with an innovative idea. In addition, teachers who are happy in their jobs do not get disappointed or take it personally when students experience setbacks; instead, they view these situations as challenges. Teachers love knowing that they can make a difference in a student’s life–both in and out of the classroom.

Responsibility

Teachers enjoy leading their own classes and love the autonomy and freedom they have on the job. One of the nice aspects about this industry is that you don’t have to wait for challenge and responsibility; unlike many other professions, teaching allows recent graduates to jump right in and do what they love–teach–rather than sit through a tiresome training period or climb slowly up the promotion hierarchy.

Creative Work

Stimulating the minds of children and helping them learn is a challenging task that constantly requires new ideas and a fresh outlook. Many teachers cite the opportunity to make learning fun as one of the job’s high points. For example, as one high school English teacher shared with us, “It’s hard to make Nathaniel Hawthorne interesting and relevant to sophomores. But make them wear big scarlet A’s on their chests for a day in high school and they suddenly have a new respect and understanding of Hester Pryne!”

Summers Off

All teachers agree that getting two months off in the summer is an added advantage to working in this profession. Teachers use this free time in a variety of ways; some teach summer school, while others attend educational workshops and conferences, travel the world, or simply relax and catch up on some reading.

Other Faculty

Most teachers enjoy interacting with their co-workers. Faculty members tend to come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, making for fun and intellectually stimulating work environments. One second-grade teacher referred to her colleagues as “…friends, mutual advisers and confidantes. Besides, when you spend all your time with kids, it’s nice to have an adult conversation!”

Variety

Although teachers may present the same material year after year, their students are always changing, bringing with them new challenges and fresh ideas. Classrooms are dynamic work environments, and no two days are ever the same. According to one new teacher, “I think it takes a lot more tolerance to work in a stuffy office day after day. One of the best things about my work is that it’s never boring, and I almost never have to sit still for long.

MOTIVATION TIPS FOR STUDENTS

Hi there, I hope you all are having a lovely day! 1. Ask your teachers or professors what your workload will look like after the break is over.   One of the most appealing things about time off from school is being able to get ahead on assignments for the following months. However, this can often be hindered by simply being unaware of the assignments to come in your courses. Before the break begins, have your teachers send you their plans for the upcoming units in their course. This will help you to get ahead on notes and readings that could be incredibly time consuming while class is in session. 2. Plan out a schedule for your work that lasts the whole break.  Procrastination is a beast to deal with during time off, mainly because it seems as though you still have so much time to complete something. Before the break starts, write down a full plan of when you want to complete your assignments and notes. This will lighten your workload by spreading the tasks out o...
