Chapter 13 discusses different opportunities one can find in the education field, what steps are needed to take for the process so that it can be a smooth one, what you can do if you are having difficulties getting a response back, different types of institutions you can apply to, and a few other alternative jobs you can get with having a degree in the field of education.
If you would like to get into the “classroom”, you have the choice between getting into a public or private school. Private school teachers tend to be paid less than those who teach at a public school but it also has its advantages compared to a public school, for example: smaller classrooms, better discipline, and parents that are more supportive than the average parent. A teacher in a public school gets paid more, but they must know how to deal with handling a larger classroom (varies with school district size), students with different disciplinary issues, and a wider variety of parent support.
Once you have decided what path in the education field you would like to take, you must now focus on getting the correct paper work ready and at hand. Resumes, teaching portfolio, applications, and credentials are all essential materials needed in order to “land the job”.
Other options are also presented in the chapter for those who prefer not to be in the classroom. Some of these options were: other school occupations such as a counselor, early childhood education (day care) publishing and other professional organization; just to mention a few. No matter what type of position you wish to acquire or where, it is important to know the facts and details for every position you apply to.
