Case: For Money or Passion for Teaching and Learning?
"Compared to other industry professionals, teachers are not compensated as their academic degree and certifications would imply." Why do you want to teach in our school? What reasons should I hire you over a recent college education major? This was a question posed to a candidate during a panel interview by my principal. The candidate was a career changer. Was this a fair question to ask of someone who has gone through the process of becoming highly qualified to teach?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think the relationship between salary and teachers is an ongoing struggle. I always run into family members, friends, old colleagues, and when I tell them that I am an Education Major, the response has never changed, "you want to be a teacher, with what they get paid?" And I always come back with things, but honestly they are right. It would take about 3 years my ENTIRE salary to pay off my student loans, where as there are other majors that lead jobs with salaries much larger that I could pay off student loans much easier and quicker. But a lot of other jobs do not have passionate people employed. I want to be a teacher because I love children, I care for their education, and I want to be a part of their success in the future.
P.S. Summers OFF! (lol) |
