MemberYes, overwhelmingly with me. I’m a retired teacher, elementary. 39 years. Check out my blog/post and see how “masculine” it is. http://www.3rrubrics.blogspot.com We need more males and their approach in the primary grades. Bob Burgan
MemberIt is possible if you go about it with some savy and a plan. While you are taking courses, volunteer at your local school(s) so they (administrators) can see how effectively you work with whatever age/subject you choose. Once you have your credential, substitute so you get a feel for what it is really like all day in a classroom. Build your reputation and become an “asked for sub”. Then apply in an area of need…if you aren’t too tired. (retired)
This is what I have done…except I don’t want to go back to full time teaching. Subbing three to four days a week is sufficient for me. I went from 39 years in the classroom to 6 years in corporate sale, New Homes for Developers…then back to teaching. Now I blog about my experiences at: http://www.3rrubrics.blogspot.com Check it out. Good luck, Bob
MemberYes, I have fond memories of many male teachers, especially in H.S. English: Mr. Harada, Music: Mr. Skanse. Their influence were what caused me to become a career teacher in Lang. Arts and Music. I now sub at several local schools and volunteer at two. Since I’ve been doing it for four years, many of the students know me and call out my name when I’m on campus. Why? Because I have fun with them while they learn…make teaching/learning process to way and fun. (not just test prep) Check out my blog which shares my current experiences: http://www.3rrubrics.blogspot.com
