Hi, my name is Sabrina and on this page I will be talking about my ambition on becoming a teacher!! Hope you like it !! I would like to become a Elementry teacher. I would also like to teach Grade 6 and Grade 3. Now here is what you need to do to become a teacher :                                  "Each state in the U.S. sets its own teacher licensure requirements to                                   ensure that every teacher comes to the classroom with a certain level of                                   competence in subject areas, educational methods, teaching skills, and                                   classroom management abilities.                                   Licensure requirements vary significantly from state to state and are                                   revised frequently. To find up-to-date information about state licensure,                                   contact the appropriate state agency.                                   Despite differences in state licensure requirements, most agree that                                   teacher candidates should:                                    •                                      Have at least a bachelor's degree, and, in some states, a fifth year or                                      master's degree                                    •                                      Complete an approved, accredited education program                                    •                                      Have a major or minor in education (for elementary education                                      teaching)                                    •                                      Have a major in the subject area in which they plan to teach (for                                      middle or high school teaching)                                    •                                      Have a strong liberal arts foundation                                    •                                      Pass either a state test, the widely used PRAXIS exam, or another                                      exam (For information about PRAXIS, visit the Web site of the                                      Educational Testing Service.)" I took this picture from http://www.recruitingteachers.org/become/index.html There are many reasons for teachers to teach and also many reasons why young kids want to teach when they grow up! Here is what Irasema Ortega wrote about teaching, this article is titled "Why I Teach".                                            "Irasema Ortega-Crawford became a biology teacher in                                            Mesa, AZ, after seeing RNT's "Reach for the Power:                                            Teach!" public service advertisement.                                The Sparks                                            Every time my students get excited about learning something                                            new, I see sparks shooting from their eyes. And though I could                                            fill a book with everything I have to say about the rewards of                                            teaching, and the chance to do something meaningful and                                            fulfilling with my life, whenever I'm asked why I became a                                            teacher, that's always the first and best thing that comes to                                            mind. The sparks.                               Passion For                                  Learning                                            Even though I did not start out to be a teacher, I have always                                            had some affinity for teaching and a passion for learning. In                                            the schools of my native Venezuela, I had excellent teachers                                            -- wonderful individuals who loved to teach and challenge as                                            they passed the torch of knowledge to us, their students.                                            To this day, any time a teacher in Venezuela enters a                                            classroom, all of the students stand up, out of respect for el                                            maestro. My father was a teacher, and I knew, back then,                                            that someday I would become one too.                                            Then I moved to the U.S. and all I heard was "Those who                                            can't, teach," and "But Ira, you can do better than that."                                            So, after college I went to work at a university research lab.                                            The little flame, that love for sharing, didn't die, but it was                                            pushed to the background. I felt like an island, totally                                            disconnected, fearful and yet hopeful that someday I would                                            have the courage to go for it, no matter what anyone said or                                            thought.                            On To Teaching                                            One night after a dreadful, boring day at work, I was watching                                            TV and saw an ad from a group called Recruiting New                                            Teachers flash on the screen. A voice asked viewers to "reach                                            for the power to wake up young minds. Teach." I know it                                            sounds crazy, but from that moment on I knew what to do.                                            Teaching is the best job I've ever had. As one of just two                                            bilingual biology specialists in my district, I created new                                            curriculum materials for my English-as-a-Second-Language                                            (ESL) kids, and launched a college bound ESL club that was                                            just as rewarding for me as it was for its members.                           The Best of Both                                    Worlds                                            I truly have had the best of both worlds: a good school                                            system that supports its teachers (at least those who stand                                            up for what they need in order to teach well), and a chance                                            to make a difference in the lives of young people. I have had                                            the opportunity to return to education what I received from                                            my own teachers and mentors.                                            It's not easy work. In fact, I will say that it is the most                                            challenging work I have ever done. I have to be there with my                                            students in body and soul, day in and day out. It can be                                            draining, and it can sometimes seem like a battleground.                                            But how do I feel at the end of each day? I feel proud of my                                            students. I feel more knowledgeable about living, teaching,                                            and learning. I feel lucky to be a teacher. I feel...full of sparks."                                          Icopied this information from http://www.recruitingteachers.org/aboutteach/why.html     I think that a job of a Teacher is to teach their classes what they need to know for when they really go out into the world. If ever I become a teacher, I would want to teach my students everything that they would want to learn, and everything they really need to know. Some students think that school is boring and that it is not teaching them anything, but it is.  I took this picture from http://www.arttoday.com/PD-0030490/Main/tour/search_results
