Attention Physical Education Teachers!What age group would you recommend teaching and how do you like your job

Question

I am in a Master's of Arts in Teaching Program and was wondering if any teachers out there (P.E.) could let me know how it is and if you love it?! I was also wondering just how HARD it was to find a P.E. teaching job after you graduated. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Answer 1

In my area, PE jobs are hard to find. Most people love the job because it has alot of flexibility and can be a powerful way to reach at-risk kids. However, many teachers are abandoning the field because the tests to qualify for the position are extremely hard in California.

I would find a way to have another subject included in the authorization of your teaching license in case there are no positions open.
