START YOUR CAREER in EDUCATION

 BY THE SAN JOAQUIN MAGAZINE TEAM

Teachers change the world. They shape the minds of our society’s youth and act as positive and inspirational leaders. Mentor, advocate, role model – for those thinking of a future career as an educator, the passion is intrinsic but knowing how to get started can be a challenge. The proper credentials are critical to becoming a teacher, no matter if you’re interested in teaching pre-kindergarten, TK-12, or at the college level. Luckily, the educational professionals at Humphreys University are here to help guide future educators along the path of becoming a teacher with these tips.

Volunteer

If you’re not quite sure what you would like to teach, but you know that you’re drawn to teaching in general, volunteering in a classroom or at a school can help clarify your specific wants and needs. Reach out to local schools about their volunteering options and get a taste of what it’s like to teach. When you eventually choose a program, you’ll also get to do an internship, so you’ll get even more hands-on experience with students.

Choose The Program That Is Right For You

You’ll need to decide what type of teacher you’d like to become and consider the work experience you already have. Humphreys University offers associate-level degrees through two different master’s degree programs. Even if you’re already working as a teacher, you can find excellent courses and programs to take through Humphreys University, which will help fulfill continuing education requirements, or help you make a bit more money. Often, the more education you complete, the higher your salary will be.

Learn In A Way That Fits Your Lifestyle

In person, online, or a combination of both—all options are available to students at Humphreys University. The professors are highly qualified with both degrees and years of experience in the field, and many of them offer both in person and virtual office hours to support students.

Lean On Professional Mentors

The professors, instructors, and administrative faculty at Humphreys University go above and beyond to support students and create a culture of connection.
