Career Coaching

It's a good thing to have questions. It's even better to get them answered. Ask a teacher, and get advice straight from the source. Attend group sessions or talk one-on-one.

The beauty of developing relationships with teachers is that you can ask questions specific to your own situation and get advice that works for your unique path.

Here are a few ideas:

  • What’s your favorite thing about teaching, and what’s the most challenging?
  • What do you wish someone had told you before you started teaching?
  • What should I look for in a teaching program?
  • Which tests do I need to take to get certified, and when should I take them?
  • What resources do you recommend, like books, articles, podcasts or websites?
