Teachers...question
I've really been thinking about becoming a teacher I just don't know what/how to do it. I was the room mom for my DDs class last year and I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much but I really did. I was thinking more about an elementary school teacher. Any ideas about where to start looking and/or what I need to do? We live in Loudoun County. Thanks!
Re: Teachers...question
I am not a teacher, but my H is. In 2009, he went through an intensive one year Master's program at UMD to get certified to teach, and now he's an art teacher in MoCo. I'm not sure how doable a program like that would be with small children. It was hard enough with just a dog.
You might try paging JustBeachy (though I don't think I've seen her around here much lately.) If I remember correctly, she was in the process of switching careers and becoming a teacher.
Here's a good idea of what you'll need to do...good luck if you decide to pursue this!

I did this program years ago: http://www.marymount.edu/academics/programs/edPDS
It was a year long intense program. I was in Fairfax County. It was awesome and I'm so glad I did it.
I was a late switcher from performance to music ed. I took a post bachelors degree program to get my teaching certification and do student teaching. The classes were at night so you could still work your day job, up until student teaching which was during the school day of course
My program was in Ohio
State department of education is always a good start
