Teaching in NY state?

We Answered:

Here's the info you need, from the New York State Department of Education: http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/cert…
The link specifically describes different ways to get your New York certification.

You can't work as a regular teacher before you have your Bachelor's. While you are working on your degree, you'll do student teaching (unpaid). Your college will set this up for you.

Very bad student teaching experience; Should I sue?

We Answered:

50 percent of new teachers leave the profession within the first five years. THAT attitude will make you one of the statistics.

In teaching - we do NOT:

decide what we want to teach
where we teach
how we teach
how we are evaluated
who we get to teach

all of those things are the responsibility of someone else. heck you dont even get your own classroom - if admin comes in and says you have to move - you move.

we teachers like to think we are in complete control - but really we are not. You are hired to teach with what you are given.

now as to your whine: you got certified. spine up and learn more about your chosen profession. That mentor chose to evaluate you negatively - deal with it and move on.

No lawyer will ever come close to touching your case.. what are your damages?! you are currently working teacher....

In the navy you will not be over seas for 4 years. It all depends on your mos (military occupational specialty). They will help pay for your school. Even while you are still in there if you have time for school at the same time. If you go navy or air force you will not spend time on the ground but more likely a ship. talk to some people in there and not just the recruiter. There is other things you can do besides go out and eat big meals with her. Pick up a little snack at the grocery store or something. Just get a drink and walk and talk. Get rid of your attitude. That will stop you like the ones that you say you were around. With your degree if you major or not in something you have the degree. all it says is you can complete something. so finish it. Then go get a job in what you want. Take a few extra classes to have a little second learning. Just be positive and try. If you act negative you will get no where.
