High School(Secondary) Teacher By: Matt O’Toole
Choice and Why • My choice was High School teacher • I choose this mainly because I have a love of learning new things and helping other people learn new things • I like getting the chance to try and help people, which is another thing I would get to do as a teacher. • I believe I would make good teacher and many other people have agreed that I would

My Plan • Finish high school with similar grades to what I’m getting now • Attend a college that features a good education program • As hiring for teachers is currently not the greatest, I would prefer that the college has a high employment rate • Enjoy my job
What did I Learn that Affected My Plan • Because I had no plan or any real prior knowledge at the beginning of the assignment, nearly everything I learn effected my plan • A specific example of this is finding a college that has a high employment rate for its students who want to become teachers because unemployment for teachers is high
Pros & Cons Pros Cons Area of political cuts High unemployment rate Blame is often place on teachers for unsuccessful students Limited pay • I like to help people learn something new as much as I like to learn something new • Lots of vacation time • Good benefits • Can stay working in a subject that I’m interested in
Other Ways to Use My degree • The degree for the subject I teach could be used in a different career that the same degree could be used. • Ex) A chemistry teacher could get a job in chemistry lab • Ex) A history teacher could become a historian or museum curator
