why i teach教案精选.doc

A student who is preparing to become a teacher in the U.S. must take study liberal arts subjects (such as mathematics, English, and history); courses in the particular subject he expects to teach, and professional education courses (usually including educational psychology, methods of teaching, and the philosophy and history of education). Almost all schools require practice teaching, in which the student teacher, under the supervision of an experienced classroom teacher, participates in actual classroom procedures. Every elementary and secondary public school teacher in the U.S. must have a teacher’s certificate granted by the government of the state in which he wishes to teach. Most of the states require four years of college for elementary teaching certificates; all the states require at least four years of college for secondary certificates. College and university teachers are not required to take educational courses or to obtain teaching certificates. However, a doctor’s degree in a field of specialization is almost a necessity for a career in most institutions of higher learning. 1.Do you want to be teachers? Why or why not?
