Hello Everyone, I am a recent college grad. I started college back in 2006 and ended up having to take a medical leave for years. I came back and finished my degree. I am trying to become a teacher or educational professional in general. In order to do that I was going to go and get my Masters in Teaching. One of the requirements is that I do 80 or so hours of work with children which I am completing right now. I am volunteering as teachers assistant and I am noticing how exhausted I am only working part time with a few students. I am worried that I am not going to be handle working full time as a teacher or if I want to. But I know that I want to work with students. I have no idea what to do. Any thoughts or words of wisdom?

Be a tutor. You can work when you want to and with as many students as you want to. Or as few as you want to.

Countrygirl12 had a great idea about being a tutor. You could also try substituting, that way you could also make your hours.

Good for you, have you thought about special ed. Those classes are usually smaller.

Congrats on your recent graduation. Try putting in applications first and see what kind or return you get.

That would be a great idea I am just concerned about the inconsistant pay If I am going to move of off disability I want to know I can pay my bills

Those classes are smaller but they are usually have a lot of high needs and behavorial issues I think that being disabled myself I am not sure I can handle it

Sometime they pay you high enough for you. But not all the time. Just try smaller kids, I think they are not that hard to handle.

You could work as a school Psychologist. Most of the times you conduct testing for students who are referred for testing if they qualify for special education service. You don't get to teach anything all you do is test and share your test results. Back then They were using the Woodcock Johnson testing but I don't know what they use now. This is just another idea in case you don't want to work full time or substitute.

LOl actually in my student teaching experience the younger they are the harder it is because it like babysitting 30 kids who are not used to being away from home.But the younger they are the less time you have spend in school

You can try teaching them remotely, if you're certified.
