Top Reasons To Become A Teacher

May 17, 2018

Teaching has always been a fulfilling job and is one which you will find rewarding throughout your life if you choose this path. Teachers are a child’s main role model aside from their parents, and you can be the person who helps to bring up these children into well rounded, considerate and smart people. Here are the top reasons why teaching is so great.
They are always needed
If the last decade alone, our population, has soared to a new high. Because of this, teachers are in demand to take care of a growing number of children. Whether you decide to go abroad with Effortless English blog and teach English to children across the world or stay at home and teach maths: a teacher is a person who is always needed in society.
Impact children’s lives
As a teacher, you can be a positive role model for the children you teach. You have the perfect chance to change their lives and make them into amazing adults. They will look to you for guidance and advice, and you can help them to carve out their dreams and become the person they have always wanted to be. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing you have helped a child to become something great.
Work-life balance
The beauty of teaching is the fact that you will get the school holidays off to spend with your family and you will always be able to see your children as they grow up. Although teaching will involve long hours during term time, it can be made up for with the time you get to spend during the summer and 8 the holidays with the people you love the most.
Part of the community
Since the dawn of time teachers have been a valuable part of society, and we have leaned on teachers for education during various aspects of our lives. You will be a key part of your local community and you can even use your post as a teacher to allow you to improve the local community alongside your children.
It’s fun
Teaching is fun. You can be fairly open with our method of teaching as long as it complies with the curriculum and this gives you the opportunity to be a little creative when teaching your children about science and maths. You can create explosions in the lab, build a rocket outside and even teach the theory of gravity with water balloons. The options are endless, and if you can think it you can do it.
You create the future
You will be one of the most important people in our future because you will be the person the children look up to and take advice from as they grow up. They will take your way of teaching, grow and develop and then become the future of our planet. You can be one of the integral people in creating the future of life on this earth, and that certainly is something to be proud of.
