When we cast our minds back to our school days, we can all remember that one teacher that we just really liked. Perhaps they inspired us, made us laugh, helped us to achieve a certain skill or simply enabled us to just be ourselves, whatever the reason, the fact you remember them after all this time is perhaps testament to their skill and dedication at their job.
Being a teacher has so many benefits and being able to help a child reach their potential is perhaps one of the most profound. If you're considering a career in teaching then take a look below at just some of the reasons why it could be for you!
Children are amazing! They are curious, eager to learn and open to new experiences. Teachers have the ability to influence, encourage and inspire children, helping them to reach their potential. That comes with a job satisfaction like no other!
Share your passion
If you have an area of interest or expertise, what could be more more valuable than sharing that information and experience with a new generation!
Career for life
Teaching is certainly one job that you can do for the whole of your working life. What's more, you can be sure that no two days will ever be the same!
Opportunities
There will always be opportunities to progress in your career if you wish to do so including heads of department, deputy or headteacher jobs for example.
Job availability
There will always be a need for teachers so you can be sure that you'll find employment after you qualify.
