5.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of Teaching Careers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teacher Career Starter (Career Starters) (Paperback)
I liked this book because it gives inside information from a variety of teachers. Since I don't know any teachers personally, this was the information that helped me to get a realistic feel for the job of being a teacher. I found out that there are a lot of other people who feel the same way that I do about the importance of education, and I think that I will fit into the world of teaching very well. I liked the fact that the book included information about teacher training programs and certification requirements because it seems like that type of detail is hard to find. I am going to use this book in the future too, once I begin applying for my first teaching job because it has good info. on how to apply and also succeeding on the job once you get one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about how to become a teacher.
