Chapter One

After reading chapter one I thought that it was interesting that elementary teachers tend to spend more hours per week than secondary education instructors. Many students were positively influenced by their former teachers. Student teaching takes an average of ten to twelve weeks and is required by most stat es. After a student completes their education, they must be certified by the state they wish to teach in. There are two ways a student can obtain their certificate:

1.) Student can make their own application to the state who will decide if the candidate meets the requirements.

2.) The student can be recommended for certification after graduation from an approved teacher preparatory program.

The salary of a teacher is determined by numerous factors including union activity, availability of teachers, prevailing wage rate, and wealth of tax base in district's area.
