Field of Education and Teaching :

Education and teaching refers to the policies and procedures designed to equip prospective teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school and wider community.

Teaching can be a challenging job with many unique frustrations, but the rewards of teaching are numerable. This job gives you a platform to connect with inquisitive, young minds and bring a positive change in their lives.

Teachers typically do the following:

-	Plan lessons that teach students subjects, such as reading and math, and skills, such as study skills and social skills
-	Assess students to evaluate their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses
-	Grade students’ assignments to monitor their progress
-	Communicate with parents about their child’s progress
-	Work with individual students to challenge them and overcome their weaknesses
-	Develop and enforce classroom rules to teach students proper behavior
-	Prepare students for standardized tests required by the state

A significant number of older teachers is expected to reach retirement age from 2010 to 2020. Their retirement will create job openings for new teachers.

For example, the employment of kindergarten and elementary school teachers is expected to grow by 17 percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Growth is expected because of both declines in student–teacher ratios and increases in enrollment. However, employment growth will vary by region.

The following refer to career opportunities for graduates:

-	Elementary School Teachers
-	High School Teachers
-	Early Childhood Teachers
-	Special Education Teachers
-	Art Teaching Teachers
