Pre-School Teaching

What I Knew…..

Before I started the I- Search project for English I had already had an idea of what I wanted my career to be in the future. I knew that I wanted to work with younger children somehow. I also knew that I wanted to be able to be creative at my job.

I also wanted to know what skills it took to be a teacher and if I think I am capable of achieving those skills in my future.

I was interested in what type of person it takes to be a teacher for younger children. I wanted to know what types of benefits a Pre- School teacher gets and if Pre- school teaching would be able to fulfill my life style and if I would be happy with the career choice I will make sometime in the future. I wanted to find out how much paperwork came with the job, if there was even any, and how long it takes a teacher to fill out this paperwork each day. Over all I had a lot of questions that I wanted to know the answers to about Pre – School teaching.
