Why be a teacher????!!! PLEASE HELP xx?

Question

hey guys,

going for an interview today, im a newly qualified teacher,

can you help me woith this question, why did you go into the teaching profession???...........being honest i just landed there, but what could i say???

thanks!!!

Answer 1

say i love kids, i get so much out of teaching them. i think that kids are very special for the present and the future and i highly enjoy teaching them and helping them understand their schoolwork or something like that.

Answer 2

Just try and be purely honest. You obviously want to get the job, why? Think deep down why you want to be a teacher and jot down the ideas. It'll be a lot more impressive if you say it straight from your heart rather than remember what some random strangers who felt like answering a quedtion told you to do on a website and you'd be more likely to get the job

Answer 3

Why not just be honest, if you use some of the answers suggested that dont apply to you, you will be a liar.

Answer 4

I kind of fell into teaching myself, being awarded a state teaching scholarship.  Fortunately, I've found that it is the perfect job for me.  Here's why:

1.  I always find joy in being with children, especially on days when I'm feeling down.

2.  I enjoy the fact that every day is different.  I would be so bored at a job where I did basically the same thing every day.

3.  I have found that my abilities lie in  teaching.  I enjoy curriculum planning, and coming up with creative ways to teach objectives.  

4.  As a teacher, I am, like my students, a life-long learner.  I am challenged to learn new things every day. Often, I find my students teaching me things.Their curiosity and desire to learn inspires me.

Answer 5

I say...

I love to see the looks on the students' faces when they've just learned something new. I love to see the growth throughout the year. (I teach first grade, so they come in barely knowing how to read and they leave reading and writing. It's pretty awesome.) I enjoy teaching and working with students as they learn how to work together.

I also say...

I am a lifelong learner. I love to read, I love to write, I love math, and it is my job to instill that love of learning in my students. It is my goal to make my students lifelong learners as well.

Answer 6

I want to go into teaching because no day is ever the same and that's really exiting. Plus, I find that kids often have more wisdom than adults.

I volunteer at craft events for children and have volunteered at primary schools to get experience and I find that kids often surprise you with the ideas they come up with for craft and stories that they're asked to make up.

It's a great feeling when you help them to achieve something they were finding hard. A great sense of achievement. Hope this helps:-)
