How Do I Become A Teacher?

I feel that when we had to look up how to register as teachers in our respective states I really learned a lot about what it will take to become a teacher, both in experience, college time and money wise. I also felt that researching the professional orginizations helped as well, giving me a sense of what support will be helpful for me to have.

One of the things that I'd like to know more about this is whether or not it is worth it to go for your masters straight off or to wait and work at a school who will pay for you to go.

Good reflection and good question. This is actually another good Dr. Grace question. Personally, I found my master's classes much easier when I came back with some experience. There were students in my class who had come straight from their bachelor's who were just "learning" everything that was taught in the class. But for me, I found that I could "relate" everything that was being taught to experiences I had in my classroom. Not only did the course content come more easily to me, but I loved the constant "aha!" experiences.
